Actually, I don't think Group is something we are worth discussing which is
almost useless. The fact is both Development/Languages
and Development/Libraries are used in the repo for python modules, see rpm -qg
'groupname' .

For package name, I think we should be more careful, currently python module
pkgnames in fedora are just a mess, it's not easy to find requires for a python
modules with many dependencies. Keep consistency with other distribution makes
sense, however we should not use the same name with them in some circumstance,
because debian/ubuntu/arch/gentoo don't allow [A-Z] in pkgname at all.

IMHO, since the upstream name and the namespace(module name) for this package
are both PySide, so python-PySide is the most suitable name to match FPG.
Actually, we should keep consistency with fedora existed packages over other
distributions', now we already have python3-PyQt4 in repo. FYI, some
distribution(e.g. mandriva) also use pyside as the pkgname.

>From fedora naming guideline:

Packages of python modules (thus they rely on python as a parent) use a
slightly different naming scheme. They should take into account the upstream
name of the python module. This makes a package name format of python-$NAME.
When in doubt, use the name of the module that you type to import it in a
script. 

I am adding Toshio to CC for second opinion since the naming for python modules
is a bit complicated.
