Never mind about having Spyder ports use PySide2; upstream has decided to not support it for the time being: ​https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/6894.

If nothing using QtPy currently "needs"/"really should have" PySide2 as an alternative to PyQt5, then I don't mind this being closed or put off indefinitely/wishlisted. I intended this more as a suggestion in case it were trivial to add, but it sounds like that's definitely not the case.

    initial v5  
    1 Since QtPy supports PySide2 (which is now Qt's official bindings for Python) in addition to PyQt5, should it be possible for the `py-qtpy` port (as well as any ports using it, e.g. Spyder) to allow `py-pyside2` as a substitute for `py-pyqt5`? I am not an expert on their differences, nor do I have any preference that PySide2 become MacPorts' default over PyQt5.

    3 If so, I imagine adding a variant `qtpy +pyside2` would be the approach for this (similar to what `py-matplotlib` has, though it doesn't use QtPy). However if the `py-qtpy` port is what ensures a Qt backend is installed, should that dependency then be removed from ports depending on qtpy (`spyder` and `spyder-devel`), or is the PyQt5 dependency used to ensure a Qt5 backend is present—i.e. when Qt4 can't be used?
