Answer 1

I asked if it's possible to install PySide from within virtualenv on irc.freenode.net #pyside channel and got positive answer from hugopl. So I followed instructions from PySide Binaries for Microsoft Windows and it worked. The output is below.

Z:\virtualenv\pyside>Scripts\activate.bat

(pyside) Z:\virtualenv\pyside>where python
Z:\virtualenv\pyside\Scripts\python.exe

(pyside) Z:\virtualenv\pyside>easy_install PySide
install_dir Z:\virtualenv\pyside\Lib\site-packages\
