Well technically not. KDE mostly supplements Qt, A few objects here and there make use of some Qt features. The gobject, glib combination are bound up in numerous low level system services and supplementary libraries that have nothing to do do with GUIs, even I think on a KDE system.</p>

<div><br><br>Python.NET is basically unmaintained, and requires very specialised knowledge to develop. I don't think it's in a position to move it into the standard library. For accessing .NET from Python IronPython is a much better alternative (with caveats about the use of C extensions that apply to any of the alternative implementations).<br>
