ScintillaEditPy, the Python binding of ScintillaEdit for Qt is now broken. I’m not sure just when it stopped working but it its dependencies (PySide and related) haven’t been maintained for several years now.
Since a non-working directory may lead people into trying to use this code, it should be removed. If no one objects, I will remove it after the 5.0.3 release is made. Anyone that wants to work on ScintillaEditPy can retrieve it from Hg or an old source distribution.
PySide has been superseded by Qt for Python which may be a reasonable base for a renewed Python binding of ScintillaEdit.

A little late but ScintillaEditPy and the tests that used it have now been removed.
