Recommended way for installing PySide on Ubuntu

Question

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

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

Answer 1

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
