PyQt4 QPushButton text and icon alignment

Question

I want to create a button with text and icon, for example Next =>, and I'm using QPushButton.

I tried to do the following:

btn2 = QtGui.QPushButton('Next',self)
btn2.setIcon(QIcon(QPixmap("next.png")))

but I got:

I want the arrow (icon) to appear on the right side of the text ("Next"), or below. Please help.

btn2.setLayoutDirection(QtCore.Qt.RightToLeft)

It can sometimes look a little weird, and you'll have to play with the button size and margins to get it to look right.

For some reason, setLayoutDirection() didn't work for me (PyQt5). I'm using the following option:

btn2.setStyleSheet("QPushButton { text-align: left; }")

This works pretty good. You can find more options for style sheets on this link: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/stylesheet-reference.html
