Description

More an FYI as a suggestion: I understand from meetings over the last few months that PHENIX, CCP4 and CCP-EM are all actively working on migrating to Python 3 and have all decided upon using PySide2 rather than PyQt5 for their GUIs. The two packages appear to be nearly identical in their functionality and APIs, but the former is a free license and apparently has more support from Qt themselves.

Is migration to PySide2 something that might be feasible/desirable? As a plugin developer I'm still trying to find out exactly where I stand with respect to PyQt5 licensing requirements, so that would be one less thing to worry about.
