Only that I'm using it right now, but I'm making sure my code will run
with PyQt.  I don't see a huge benefit of PySide except for the source
code license (LGPL so you can use it without fee in a proprietary project).

My opinion is that if you're fine with the GPL license of PyQt for open
source projects, it's the way to go.

If not, then with a little bit more effort PySide works pretty well.
They are close enough to each other to be more or less compatible.

I'd say start with PyQt then.  Most examples on the net assume PyQt
anyway.  That book you mentioned is pretty good.  For a while a couple
of universities were offering it for download as a pdf to support their
classes.  Might be possible to find it in a search.
