Fix error importing PySide 1.2.2

[iromero91]

PySide 1.2.2 (at least) doesn't have a __version__ attribute in PySide.QtSvg. Slightly changing the order of imports solves the issue (though if you ask me this code is fairly smelly, there has to be a better solution.)

Thanks. Yes, this was taken from the IPython project to get PySide and PyQt compatibility. I will take alook. By the why, is PySide alive or it has been abandoned?

Still no Qt 5 version in sight afaik...

I don't really care much about PyQt because it's not LGPL/BSD compatible.

Not true.

Phil Thompson phil at riverbankcomputing.com:

No, but thats not an ideological change. What (GPL incompatible)
license do you want use?

I contribute to several projects that use different licenses. Im
primarily concerned with the BSD and LGPL, but also Python and MIT.

As far as I am aware all of those are compatible with the GPL and so do
not need an exception.

I do my best to support both PySide and PyQt. So I will be happy to merge any changes that makes this possible.

Thanks! this fix does work for me, but it might need more work down the line to do something saner.

But I wonder if the #48 is also due to a difference with PySide
