It s just that when I type "python setup.py build/--help/install", depending on 
whether pyqt4 is installed or not, the script detects that Qt is present or not 
(respectively), and pyside does not change that behaviour. I must admit I did 
not try to run my script even when Qt was not detected, maybe it works... But I 
guess there is a consequence to the detection of Qt at the build step?

Sorry for not providing the exact output of the build step, I m on another 
computer. On my mac, the section of interest is:
OPTIONAL BACKEND DEPENDENCIES
                libpng: 1.5.2
               Tkinter: Tkinter: version not identified, Tk: 8.5, Tcl: 8.5
                  Gtk+: no
                        * Building for Gtk+ requires pygtk; you must be able
                        * to "import gtk" in your build/install environment
       Mac OS X native: yes
                    Qt: no
                   Qt4: Qt: 4.7.3, PyQt4: 4.8.5
                 Cairo: no

Here, it detected my pyqt4. But when it s not there, even if pyside is 
installed, I get a "Qt4: no" instead... Do you mean that it's still going to 
work, even it was not detected there?

Oh, sorry for that! I must have been confused, I think I only typed 
"QT_API=pyside" at the prompt, so I guess without the "export" (doh!), that was 
useless... Since the doc (somewhere) talked about "ETS environment variables", 
I thought there was something else to it. If not, then I ll have to learn my 
bash again :-)

Not a big issue, anyway!

Cheers!
