If I execute python console not from python(x,t), there is no problem in 
loading PySide.

Some questions:
1. Was PySide installed after Python(x, y )?
2. Are there any other Python installations beside Python(x, y)
3. Which console did you open precisly (ipython? python, cmd?, console?)

PySide is an alternative to PyQt. Installing both may be inviting trouble.

Just thought I'd note that I have installed Pyside (using the binaries provided 
by Nokia) and it works and imports fine in my programs (which are written and 
run in Eclipse). I have it installed alongside PyQt, and don't notice any 
issues. 

Perhaps the author of the bug was trying to use PYside in a session that 
already imports PyQt (I think Spyder and some versions of iPython do this?), or 
didn't install the binaries correctly, or was using an old version of pyside 
(which is changing very rapidly.)

My only issues were getting Pyside to work with other Python(x,y) components 
such as, I believe, the matplotlib widget, which are written specifically for 
pyqt.

I for one would *love* to see PySide in Python(x,y). Its documentation is far 
superior to PyQt, its licensing is much more favorable to business, and it 
seems certain to surpass PyQt in polish and functionality within the next few 
months...

There are some downsides:
1. No stable version 1.0rc.
2. No 64bit and Python 3.x binaries.
3. No clear migration path (at least to me ...)
4. Very little 3rd party use.

Once it hits v1.0 it may consider it as an additional package, but until some 
significant 3rd party support builds up that's about it.
