[PySide] Python 2 support

[Cristián Maureira-Fredes]

Hello Florian,

Based on Qt traditions, even if something
is deprecated we tend to provide support for a little bit
longer.

So far we haven't discussed how long we will support Python 2.7,
but since last year we have been encouraging people to use Python 3.5+
directly.

We will make an announcement as soon as it's decided how long we will
support it.

Cheers!
