Feature Request: PySide2 support

[melevine]

PySide2 is quickly approaching a releasable state. While the product might not be officially released, the API is fairly stable and support for the module structure should be straightforward. It is also released in some major commercial products even in it's beta state. Considering that will be the officially supported python API from the Qt foundation, it would be nice to be ahead of the game and get support for it asap.

A lot of development needs to be done in anticipation of the release or use of certain Qt-based products. Without support for PySide2, some developers are leaning towards other repos, like Qt.py, that already support the PySide2 API.

Also, considering PySide2 is/will be the officially supported Python API for Qt, it might be good to declare that the PySide2 API is the target module structure/API for QtPy. It's a little unclear from the README what API QtPy presents and codes to.

Hi @Skylion007. According to https://github.com/PySide/pyside2/wiki/Project-Test-Status it is not ready so there is no point in supporting a "half made" port.

[Skylion007]

Fair enough, but I just want to have this port kept in mind for the future though.

Let's keep this open then. The pyqt license is not as liberal as the one of pyside so it is a good thing to keep supporting the latter (even unofficially).

Work is ready #84 but we need to wait for it to be officially released

Why wait for the official release ?

To.. test it?
