You don't necessarily need to program with Qt using C++ to make use of OpenGL or DirectX.
You can keep your knowledge and experience in developing with PySide, along with the benefits of Python versus C++ when it comes to rapid development, and supplement it with something like a [Python OpenGL library]( http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/) or by writing just the OpenGL part with C++, and exposing it to your PySide UI. Furthermore, if you're considering leaving Python altogether in search of making use of the GPU, you could also consider QML as it runs entirely on the GPU and has native supports for OpenGL shaders and all of that jazz. Also, widgets aren't being developed anymore. If there's a next level to Qt, it's QML.
