The current Qt version should build on RH7.3 with whatever Qt
version you have (>=1.42). Since you'll have to rebuild all of PyQt
anyway, that isn't any more difficult (you'll need the
corresponding sip version in any case).  In fact the newer versions
will build about 80% faster.

The other alternative is to get the latest version an compare
qinputdialog.sip to the version you have and see what changed.
