Thanks for your response. So far, after a couple of days fighting with PySide and Python, I've been able to reuse the GUI. In my tests, it works fine with Softimage 2013 and 2015.
I couldn't use an external Python I don't know why, SI just kept crashing, so I installed Python 2.6, pywin and PySide and copied the PySide folders into Softimage's Python Lib\site-packages Folder. So far so good, Softimage 2015 also kept crashing with an external Python 2.7 so I did the same and it's working fine. Is there any way to just add these PySide to the Python path everytime Softimage starts up without modifying the setenv.bat ? I did something similar with Maya 2013 adding PySide folders with a simple sys.path.append, it would be cool to do it like this in Softimage so I only have to distribute a Workgroup folder without installing anything. Now I only have to convert the code to Softimage.
