Thanks Oscar, It wasn't working for me, but thanks to you I've been able to find the problem.
Knowing that my code adding the path wasn't wrong I looked everywhere else and I've found that my problem was that my addon was loading before PyQtForSoftimage, and importing PySide directly by mistake (leftover from the Maya code), so PyQtForSoftimage's import PySide function wouldn't work. AFAIK Softimage loads plugins first and then addons in alphabetic order, so my solution was moving PyQtForSoftimage to the Plugin folder. I guess renaming my addon or PyQtForSoftimage addon would also work. I've created a plugin that only add the paths, so SI would add the PySide path first, then load PyQtForSoftimage, and then my addon. Finally it is working fine! Now to start coding the tool.
