[PySide] How to create Qt lib bindings and publicate it to pip

It's not that bad. It's just shiboken2 and PySide2 for your package plus
shiboken2_generator for generating the bindings. I wouldn't call this a
nightmare.

I guess you already found the docker containers provided here
https://github.com/pypa/manylinux for generating binary python packages
for linux. Other than that I am not aware of more resources, I think
you'd have to integrate your library into a CI environment for your own.
