I found this in particular on my aarch64 machine running Arch Linux ARM, however, this applies to any non-x86 or x86_64 architecture or platform that are not provided by the distributed wheels.
Description
Pyside2 and Shiboken are only distributed as wheels for x86 and x86_64 architectures.
This makes it so that anyone not on theses architectures (e.g. aarch64, ARMv7) cannot install via pypi.
Even if binary distributions for these architectures is too much of a development overhead, source distributions are the standard for at least being able to attempt installation.
Sure, there are additional build dependencies required, but most devs attempting a source install should recognize that
