Gentoo Linux drops pykde4 from PyQt4

On Gentoo Linux, PyQt4 is dropping the 'pykde4' module entirely, and already dropped 'pykde4 kio', so Vintel won't load. Here's a link from the Gentoo forums where a dev told it to someone else. I get the following output in the console when I'm trying to use Vintel:

I have PyQt4.12 and Python 2.7.12 on my machine, if it matters.
