Hi, I might be late to the discussion here, but I would like to share my thoughts anyways. It is no secret that PySide and PyQt4 are highly compatible with each other; with a few modifications you can port back and forth easly, and even create cross-compatible sources. So basically, at a end user level, there are no (or a few) arguments to chose one or the other. The real advantage the PySide has over PyQt4 are the licensing options. PySide has the LGPL option, while PyQt4 only GPL, last time I checked. I think this alone, makes people want to use/port to PySide. Another potential advantage is PySide's visibility through the Qt-Project, which I don't think it's exploited at its potential.
About being included in the Python standard library, I agree that it's not a viable option, however, I don't think that PySide needs to be in the standard, in order for it to be the defacto GUI toolkit for Python, it needs to install easily across OSs and distros, be well documented, be active as a project, have a newbie friendly community, etc. Finally, I would like to mention GitHub. GitHub currently has a huge momentum, and PySide can take advantage of that, to gain activeness and user contribution. Sergio
