[vtk-developers] Adding PySide compatibility to python binding

[David Gobbi]

Hi Hadrien,

The way the try/except is written, it will always complain about not
finding PySide even if the user expected it to be looking for PyQt.
Can you modify the patch so that it will report the error as
"ImportError: Cannot load either PyQt or PySide"?  This can be
done by adding another try-except around the second import and
then re-throwing the exception (there's probably a tidier way to do it,
but the main thing is to make the error less confusing).

 - David
