QDockWidget, place the tabs on top and insert text

Question

Are there any methods to make the tabs be placed on top? I think it's more suitable. And is there an easy way to name the tabs, maybe add a QLabel.

Below is a picture of how it looks now.

Use setTabPosition to put the tabs at the top for the relevant dock-areas:

mainwindow.setTabPosition(QtCore.Qt.AllDockWidgetAreas, QtGui.QTabWidget.North)

The tab text is taken from the window title, so it can be set like this:

dockwidget.setWindowTitle('Name')

or indirectly via the QDockWidget constructor:

dockwidget = QtGui.QDockWidget('Name', parent)
