yup -- though I think it uses its own binding-generation tool, rather than
SIP. Not sure why. IIUC, the primary point of PySide is to provide a LGPL,
rather than GPL set of bindings. As Scribus is GPL (correct?) , then you
might as well stick with PyQT and SIP.

So are you using SIP to wrap the non-QT parts of Scribus? I'd suspect that
would be the way to go in this case, though I've never actually uses SIP....

Sounds like you're in good shape to move this forward.
