Hi Ricardo,

Thanks.  I've been hacking in my channel and master usually has my current
work: https://github.com/jsoo1/guix-channel/blob/master/python-pyside.scm -
current commit is 59f6da3.
<https://github.com/jsoo1/guix-channel/commit/59f6da338ceab793be5c81407e46cd03424b8ae7>
Aside
- I would like to patch most of the working and compatible packages in the
channel back into guix, but freecad has been taking all my guix hacking
time.  I've attached the build log since there are some errors building
both the apiextractor package and the shiboken library.  Note that
python-pyside.scm includes work on version 1 of the Shiboken library. That
build seemed ok but freecad is moving to pyside2.  I followed nix's
strategy of building the packages separately and using cmake-build-system
instead of python (
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/2d656a9729739e8ca5486058a76669d0ea4442df/pkgs/development/python-modules/pyside/shiboken.nix#L33)
for version 1. Pyside 2 is bundled into a single repository so I am not
sure I can do the same thing for it. Thanks again!

- John
