Although I am not using PySide, perhaps this could help, because I had the same invalid metadata error.

I installed opencv with

conda install python=3.8 # installing 3.8.13
conda install opencv

which led to this error.

Going back to a normal pip install worked:

conda install python=3.8
pip install opencv-python

I was using Python 3.8 and based on qt docs this version was missing some Api so I installed last version of python(3.9) and now the problem is solved :>

Note

Python 3.8.0 was missing some API required for PySide/Shiboken so it’s not possible to use it for a Windows build.
