[PySide] python setup.py build fails with error: ‘class Shiboken::GilState’ has no member named ‘abandon’

Hi,

I don't know about this specific error, but what I usually do is using pip to install PySide into a virtual environment. You can do that with (assuming bash)

python3 -m venv <a_local_dir>
. <a_local_dir>/bin/activate
pip install PySide2==5.14.2.3

or whatever version you want. This should download a binary version of PySide2 which should be perfectly fine for making first steps with PySide2.

Hope this helps
