The Qt documentation really isn't great, by PyQt can also be relatively simple if you stick to basic controls. For example, this post shows how to display a message box.

Displaying an input box is even easier:

Spoiler:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QInputDialog
from PyQt5 import QtCore

def run(bk):
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    input = QInputDialog()
    input.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.WindowCloseButtonHint) # hide "What is this?" icon [?]
    input.setWindowTitle("QInputDialog demo")
    button_clicked = input.exec_()
    print("You entered:", input.textValue())
    
    return 0
        
def main():
    print('I reached main when I should not have\n')
    return -1

if __name__ == "__main__":
    sys.exit(main())
