Summary	0012861: Unable to ask for user input from within ParaView Python macro
Description	In ParaView 3.8.1, it was possible to write a Python macro that asked the user for input with a dialog window. This was done with the following simple code: import PyQt4.QtGui (ret, ok) = PyQt4.QtGui.QInputDialog.getInt( PyQt4.QtGui.QWidget(), 'T', 'L') if not ok: raise Exception('input error') print ret Starting with 3.10 and continuing with 3.12.0, this will fail. If there is a good reason to disallow "import PyQt4.QtGui" in ParaView, I understand, but can we implement equivalent functionality to these four static functions PyQt4.QtGui.QInputDialog.getInt() PyQt4.QtGui.QInputDialog.getItem() PyQt4.QtGui.QInputDialog.getDouble() PyQt4.QtGui.QInputDialog.getText() from within a ParaView Python macro?
