[PySide] Install via pip fails on OS X Mavericks

[Sean Fisk]

When compiling from source, you can install into a virtualenv. When using
Homebrew, it's not possible to install into a virtualenv.

I don't use Homebrew's Python, and don't install any other Python packages
other than PySide. Then, inside of the virtualenv, I use a PTH
file<http://docs.python.org/2/library/site.html>to point to Homebrew's
site-packages/ directory. Unfortunately, this also includes any other
Python packages installed by Homebrew if you decide to install them. It's
not the best option, but it works well. I can send you my
PTH-file-writing-script if you are interested.

If you are interested in compiling from source into a virtualenv, my team
is working on improving the PySide
BuildScripts<https://github.com/PySide/BuildScripts>repo and I can
send you what we have as well.

If you are interested in either of these, expect a reply from me tomorrow
as it is pretty late in my neck of the woods.

Cheers,
