(All KDE programs require python-dev? :-)

The difference is that you CAN install a pure-python program without
python-dev, it's just that you can't use setup.py to do it.  Whereas
kde-dev contains legitimate build dependencies for KDE programs,
python-dev contains very little that is useful for installing
pure-python programs.
