+<H2>Static Member Functions</H2>
+<P>
+Static member functions are implemented as Python class functions.
+For example the C++ static member function
+<TT CLASS="LITERAL" >QObject::connect()</TT>
+is called from Python as
+<TT CLASS="LITERAL">QObject.connect()</TT> or
+<TT CLASS="LITERAL">self.connect()</TT>
+if called from a sub-class of
+<TT CLASS="LITERAL">QObject</TT>.
+</P>
+<h2>None and NULL</h2>
+<P>Throughout the bindings, the
+<TT CLASS="LITERAL">None</TT>
+value can be specified wherever
+<TT CLASS="LITERAL">NULL</TT>
+is acceptable to the underlying C++ code.</P>
+<P >Equally,
+<TT CLASS="LITERAL">NULL</TT>
+is converted to
+<TT CLASS="LITERAL">None</TT>
+whenever it is returned by the underlying C++ code
+</P>
+
+<h2>Enumerated Types</H2>
+<P>
+Enumerated types are implemented as a set of simple variables corresponding to
+the separate enumerated values.
+</P>
+<P>
+When using an enumerated value the name of the class (or a sub-class) in which
+the enumerated type was defined in must be included.  For example:

+</TABLE>
+
+<H2>Namespaces</H2>
+<P>
+The C++ code in KDE makes extensive use of namespaces (especially in the kio, kjs,
+khtml, kfile, and kparts modules). In PyKDE, namespaces are treated as a "superclass".
+For example, "from kparts import KParts" will import the KParts namespace and all
+its members. To reference a class in the namespace, use &lt;namespace name&gt;..&lt;classname&gt;,
+for example, KParts.ReadOnlyPart. It isn't necessary to import the &lt;classname&gt; (ReadOnlyPart
+in the example).
+</P>
+<h2>Return and Argument Types</h2>
+<p>
+Some return types or argument types may be different than those in the C++ KDE libs. This is
+done for convenience (eg returning/taking Python lists or dicts),  because arguments are
+scalar (non-object) types passed by reference (eg int*, bool&), or because there is no
+way to express the C++ type in Python (eg template types)
+</p>
+<p>
+Please check the <a href="docs.html">Class Reference Docs</a> which list all classes
+and methods in Python format.

+<h2>Version Information</h2><h4><i>New in PyKDE-3.11</i></h4>
+<p>
+PyKDE provides methods for determining both the KDE version being run and the PyKDE
+version being run. The version methods are:

+<h2>Abstract Classes and Pure Virtual Methods</h2>
+<P>
+C++ allows the use of abstract classes. Abstract classes cannot be used in programs
+(instantiated) directly; their only purpose is to serve as a base class from which
+programmers can derive other classes that can be used.
+</P>
+<P>
+An abstract class in C++ is defined as a class that has one or more 'pure virtual'
+methods. These can be identified in the C++ header files or C++ docs as methods set
+equal to 0, for example:
+</P>
+<TABLE BORDER="0" BGCOLOR="#E0E0E0" WIDTH="100%">
+<TR>
+<TD>
+<PRE CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING">
+virtual int somePureVirtualMethod (int a) = 0;
+</PRE>
+</TD>
+</TR>
+</TABLE>
+<P>
+To derive a useful class from the abstract class, the programmer has to write methods
+to overload each of the pure virtual methods. Following a suggestion on the mailing
+list, the docs attempt to flag all abstract classes and identify the pure virtual
+methods which must be overloaded in the derived class. Derived classes can be created
+in Python by writing Python methods to overload the pure virtual methods - no C++ code
+is required.
+</P>
