[PySide] Flatpak creation

[Michael Hill]

FreeCAD uses an older version but PySide is built first. Maybe this
will give you some ideas.

In combination with the org.kde.Platform runtime for Qt and other libraries this means deployment of a PyQt app as a Flatpak is pretty simple, see https://develop.kde.org/docs/getting-started/python/pyqt-flatpak/ this example from KDE. I prefer to use PySide – is there any chance of a similar sort of tool being made for PySide6?
