Evan,
Good to hear from you. Hope things are going well.
> Now that several PySide bugs relevant to IPython have been fixed, my port of IPython's Qt code to PySide is working. (Note that even the most recent PySide beta 5 release will segfault sporadically. This is fixed in the PySide master branch and IPython will work with the upcoming RC 1 release.) My branch is here:

This is great!
> This should be fairly uncontroversial. The only thing I would like to direct attention to is the Qt API switcher:

This is god to know about. Overall, how ready would you say that
pyside is? Is Enthought considering shipping pyside in a version of
EPD soon?
> I have modeled this on the way that ETS is currently handling switching Qt APIs. Any thoughts on this, however, would be welcome.

> Also, regarding GitHub etiquette: should I merge with the master branch before I submit my pull request? My branch is now several weeks behind.
No, your stuff should be pretty independent. We may do a rebase, but
why won't you do a pull request so everyone can have a look.
Thanks for doing this!
Cheers,
Brian
