I decided to learn Python Gui development and, as PyQt is non-free, the choice was PySide for it. But, unlike PyQt, PySide doesn't have any tutorials or screencasts, just documentation useless for very beginners. I have no Qt experience, so even setting up development environment in Ubuntu is a problem. Could you advice something to learn from?

Advantages of PySide PySide represents the official set of Python bindings backed up by the Qt Company. PySide comes with a license under the LGPL, meaning it is simpler to incorporate into commercial projects when compared with PyQt. It allows the programmer to use QtQuick or QML to establish the user interface.
The key difference in the two versions — in fact the entire reason PySide2 exists — is licensing. PyQt5 is available under a GPL or commercial license, and PySide2 under a LGPL license.
Yes, and you don't need to release your source code to customers. The LGPL only requires you to release any changes you make to PySide itself.
PySide is a Python binding of the cross-platform GUI toolkit Qt developed by The Qt Company, as part of the Qt for Python project. It is one of the alternatives to the standard library package Tkinter. Like Qt, PySide is free software.
If you are going to just learn GUI development with Python, does PyQt not being free really matter?
And make sure you actually know the PyQt license before arriving at such a conclusion!
There a plethora of tutorials available for both. See the official documentation. Note that the basic stuff (signals and slots etc.) is the same. What differs is mentioned here.
