@Anatoly: If you want to use your closed source plugins with Spyder,
please help us to fix our PySide support, that's all. I said this to you
several times, I don't know why you make me to repeat it: PySide support
is not gone, it just will have to come from the community. We don't have
time to support three different Python Qt bindings (specially one that
it's not ready for Qt5), so we're relying on the community for the least
used one.
@Ghislain: You're referencing the *commercial* section of the PyQt
licensing page, not the open source one. The wiki page I cited before is
quite clear about the licenses allowed for projects that depend on PyQt,
and it doesn't make a distinction between PyQt4 and PyQt5. Please stop
spreading FUD.
Cheers,
Carlos

Quoting the Riverbank FAQ [1]:
Q.
What are the implications of using the GPL version of PyQt?
A.
To understand your obligations when using GPL code with your
application see the GPL FAQ <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html>.
[1] https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/commercial/license-faq
So, using PyQt5 makes you abide to the GPL (v3). A release of Spyder
which depends on PyQt5 (which is GPL) would then be considered a
combined work and need to be licensed under the GPL too.
The situation was different with PyQt4, because of the added
exceptions Carlos is referring to. However, these are absent in PyQt5.

Hi,
Nop, that's not true. The only requirement imposed by PyQt to open
source projects depending on it is that their licenses be
compatible with the GPL. This is clearly mentioned in the PyQt wiki:

Have you considered the licensing implications? PyQt is GPL, and
actually *depending* on it (instead of using it as one of two
possible options) would require Spyder itself to be released as
GPL, wouldn't it?

Hi all,
Since today, we officially stopped to support PySide in the
Spyder master branch (i.e. in the future Spyder 3.0, Spyder
2.3 still works fine with it though). This means that:
1. If PySide is found in your system, and PyQt5 nor PyQt4 are
installed, Spyder will try to use it. But at the moment, our
master branch has several crashes with PySide that we don't
plan to solve (at least not me, other core developers have
shown interest in doing that but nothing has happened so far :-).
2. We're not going to solve more bugs related to PySide in
the future (again, at least not me :-)
3. Support for it will have to come from the community.
The reasons for taking this decision are explained in the
link referenced by Anatoly, in case someone wants to know
them. Nobody is getting paid to support only PyQt (4 or 5).
It was just a pragmatic decision based on the amount of time
the development team has to support several Python Qt
bindings. Given that we're now supporting PyQt5 (and that
PyQt5 is going to be our default choice for Spyder 3.0), we
don't have time to support both PyQt4 and PySide. And because
of the uncertainty of PySide's future, we decided to not
support it anymore.
Cheers,
Carlos

Hey guys, where is the discussion about that?
I am just curios - does anybody is getting paid
to make Spyder work only with PyQt4?
Yes. PySide needs more companies interested
in this binding to support this initiative, but the
project is far from being dead.
