Wouldn't it be possible to use a single backend compatible with both PyQt and Pyside ?
Other projects (enthought, ipython, spyderlib) seem to be able to handle the issue by importing from a proxy qt module that does the right imports and handles the incompatibilities. The preferred backend is set through an environment variable. >>> Re: Backend for Pyside by Gerald Storer Mar 23, 2011; 08:33am :: Rate this Message: - Use ratings to moderate (?) I've just noticed that its possible to use an external package as a back end so I moved my changes into their own package. This is sufficient for my own use but I'm guessing others may find is useful as well (and it might speed official support). Attached is the package.
