[PySide] Important: 5.15.0 wheels (Windows 64bit) replaced

[icfwm at gmx.net]

Hi Cristian,

I fear this is still not working for me. I just installed 5.15.0 into a
fresh virtual environment (it used
PySide2-5.15.0-5.15.0_1_cp35.cp36.cp37.cp38-none-win64.whl and the
corresponding shiboken2 package). Afterwards I got "ImportError: DLL
load failed: Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden" when importing
the QtCore module. Doing the same thing with PySide2-5.14.2.2 works as
expected.

Best Regards
Christoph
