[FIXED] Recommended way for installing PySide on Ubuntu

Issue

What is the recommended way of setting up PySide for development in Ubuntu?

1. sudo apt-get install python3-pyside?
2. sudo pip install pyside?
3. sudo easy_install pyside?

Solution

All your options will work. It depends what you are trying to achieve with it and how portable it should be. What usually "just" works without problems is to create a virtualenv first:

apt-get -f install python-virtualenv
virtualenv ~/mypython2.7

With that you can simply use easy_install as recommended to install PySide in your local virtual environment:

~/mypython2.7/bin/easy_install PySide

If you want to build PySide, follow the extensive instructions on their github page
