It looks like pyside is a good candidate for a python3 subpackage:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Subpackages
You can open a bugzilla against python-pyside and request that the
maintainers also build pyside for python3 (which at first glance looks
like it would be a trivial task). If you are familiar with python
packaging then you can speed things along by posting a patch for the
spec yourself that adds python3 support. I've done this a couple of times:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=909831
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=911933
Thanks for your suggestions.
I see it's best to try to package missing packages.
Kind regards,
Tuan
