setIcon fails with PySide if incorrectly setting QT_API

[ProvoK]

I had the same problem as in this issue #23
but setting os.environ['QT_API'] = 'PySide' did not work for me.
I had to manually uninstall PyQt, but it's not good in terms of portability.
How could i fix that?

@ProvoK, could you post a simple code snippet that's giving errors when you have both PyQt and PySide installed, so we can test it in our side? Thanks :-)

We've worked hard to make QtAwesome work with PyQt5, PyQt4 and PySide, but it seems there are some differences between them we haven't addressed correctly :-)

I'm very sorry for the late reply, i had uninstalled PyQt as "easy fix" since i needed my program running.
I found that the problem was pretty stupid, once i look'd into qtpy code.
It was os.environ['QT_API'] = 'pyside' instead of os.environ['QT_API'] = 'PySide' ...

We should accept the values whatever the letter case. It's just amatter of adding a .lower() at the correct place.

Yes, it would be nice, or give a better exception message.
Actually, if i change it to "PySide" it gives me this error
File "/home/vitto/TESI/PyDaMind/Client/Widgets/Welcome.py", line 9, in <module> import qtawesome as qta File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/qtawesome/__init__.py", line 19, in <module> from .iconic_font import IconicFont, set_global_defaults File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/qtawesome/iconic_font.py", line 22, in <module> from qtpy.QtCore import QObject, QPoint, QRect, qRound, Qt File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/qtpy/__init__.py", line 68, in <module> assert os.environ[QT_API] in (PYQT5_API + PYQT4_API + PYSIDE_API) AssertionError
This made me look into that file and solve by myself

@Nodd is right, we should accept values of QT_API no matter if they are lower or upper-cased :-)

@ProvoK, we'll fix this one for the next qtpy release.

This was fixed in qtpy 1.1.2, which is a dependency of qtawesome. Please update to that version.
