Try this

class myStyle(QCommonStyle):

    def __init__(self, angl=0, point=QPoint(0, 0)):
        super(myStyle, self).__init__()
        self.angl = angl
        self.point = point

    def drawItemText(self, painter, rect, flags, pal, enabled, text, textRole):
        if not text:
            return
        savedPen = painter.pen()
        if textRole != QPalette.NoRole:
            painter.setPen(QPen(pal.brush(textRole), savedPen.widthF()))
        if not enabled:
            pen = painter.pen()
            painter.setPen(pen)
        painter.translate(self.point)
        painter.rotate(self.angl)
        painter.drawText(rect, flags, text)
        painter.setPen(savedPen)

and

label = QLabel()
label.setStyle(myStyle(-45, QPoint(0, 100)))
