PySide support

[mattip]

I see it may have been a goal for 2011. Seeing as we are at the end of
2011, any news? The license of PyQt4 is much more restrictive than
that of PySide...

The guidata library is already supporting PySide -- it is however
still experimental due to limited testing.

Regarding guiqwt, we won't be able to provide PySide support as it is
based on PyQwt which was designed to be built together with PyQt, not
PySide (there is no PySide-Qwt binding library available out there...
at least no stable release).

However, we have already started to think about the future of guiqwt:
a library named guiplot which will be compatible with both PyQt and
PySide (see here: http://code.google.com/p/guiplot/).

Here are more explanations regarding guiplot:

Yes, in time, we will be looking for outside contributors. But for
now, we need to write a solid code base and once it's ready for
publication, we will make a call for contributors.
