Is it possible to add PyQt4/PySide packages on a Virtualenv sandbox?

Question

I\'m using Virtualenv with profit on my development environment with web.py, simplejson and other web oriented packages.
I\'m going to develop

Symbolic links may work.

I use Linux (Debian/sid), python 3.4, PySide, virtualenv, and PyCharm (IDE), but these same instructions will work for any package and development environment.

Symbolic links between /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PySide/ $VIRTUAL_ENV/lib/python3.4/site-packages/PySide/ work for me.

cd $VIRTUAL_ENV/lib/python3.4/site-packages/
mkdir PySide
cd PySide`
for x in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PySide/* ; do ln -s $x ; done

Interestingly, if I symbolic link only the PySide directory, it does not work. I need to symlink each file within the directory. That may be a limitation of PyCharm (my IDE) -- I don't know.
