getting PySide to work

[mike]

Hi all,

The following patch (everything between the starred lines) is how I
got PySide working with PyInstaller on my Mac. My version of PySide
is the binary distribution from the PySide website. What I see is
that the PySide developers install the libraries into /usr/lib, which
is excluded by default by PyInstaller. I agree that /usr/lib on the
Mac is probably/usually not installed into by 3rd party libraries, it
does so happen on occasion. In this case, I don't know what the best
solution is (which may include asking PySide to change their install
location). In any case, just wanted to share the results of my
findings.

I do not like this "hack" for a single module/package. Isn't there
another solution?

I agree that this hack is not desirable.

I simply thought to put it out there, as a topic of discussion, as
there are others waiting for PyInstaller to support PySide on Mac, but
to do so, we would need to change some assumptions that PyInstaller is
making about directories to include/exclude. The good news is, unlike
PyQT, no hook files are necessary :)

Cheers
Mike
