Indeed.  I am very happily leaving SWIG behind as the code generated by 
SIP is smaller, faster, more robust and has less of a memory footprint 
at runtime.  And because of being focused on just Python it is a little 
easier to make things a bit more pythonic from the user's perspective 
too. Switching PySide to SWIG would definitely be a step backwards IMO.
