I'm not certain, but:

    popup = Pmw.PromptDialog(title='Some Labelling')
    popup.activate()   # This waits for a response
    result = popup.get()

seems to work for me.

----------
There is a way that doesn't use Pmw, just Tkinter, and doesn't require 
you to build your own home-made dialog from scratch.  Here goes:

  import tkSimpleDialog

    myEntry=tkSimpleDialog.askstring("myDialogTitle","myQuestion:")


NOTES: askstring() includes an Entry and "OK" and "Cancel" buttons. 
myEntry should be a string, or None if you user hits "Cancel"
The tkSimpleDialog class also includes other useful methods that work 
the same way, such as:  tkSimpleDialog.askfloat
("myDialogTitle","myQuestion:") and tkSimpleDialog.askinteger
("myDialogTitle","myQuestion:") 

Hope this helps a little more.
