Actually, python modules should use Development/Libraries,
Development/Languages is for python/perl runtime or compiler(e.g. gcc)

python-PySide will be the preferred name for this package since python3 will be
supported soon, it'll better to always add python- to upstream name. See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=603245#c15 . Following debian
naming convention is a bit violation of FPG.
