Hey Marek,

The wheels on PyPi are 'cp38-abi3'
that means that they are compatible with all the officially release
Python versions starting from 3.8, that means that
3.9, 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12 are supported as well.
In case you are interested into this topic, here
is the documentation: https://docs.python.org/3/c-api/stable.html

Regarding yocto, that's something we are currently
investigating in order to include PySide in the Qt images
provided by the Qt Installer (Maintenance Tool), but
it's still not available.

In case you find any further issue,
let us know, but using those wheels should be enough.

Cheers
