also, this binding does not support keyword arguments:

... traceback cutted...
    (r,v)=QInputDialog.getText(None,self.title,labelify(label),text=init)
TypeError: getText() takes no keyword arguments


in Ubuntu, fromTheme and keyword are work from box

It's supported in qt-4.6 but not yet supported in PyQt4-4.6.2 upstream which is included in rhel6. For this function fromTheme the new version PyQt4 is needed.

i wonder how it works for you, but taken a look at the qt source the function getText needs more arguments.

static QString getText(QWidget *parent, const QString &title, const QString &label,
                           QLineEdit::EchoMode echo = QLineEdit::Normal,
                           const QString &text = QString(), bool *ok = 0, Qt::WindowFlags flags = 0);


so the 4. argument "QLineEdit::EchoMode" is missing here (r,v)=QInputDialog.getText(None,self.title,labelify(label),text=init) seems

the bug is closed as notabug, we don't plan to update new pyqt4 version in next rhel6 update.

No, QLineEdit::EchoMode is not missing. first 3 arguments are positional arguments, foreth argument is so called "keyword" argument. So, replacing "text=init" to just "init" will cause error.

it's new feature in sip-4.10/PyQt4-4.7.x which has the support for the keyword arguments. You should please use QInputDialog.getText(None,'title','label', QlineEdit.Normal, 'init' which is correct for PyQt-4.6/sip-4.9
