How to rotate Element around pivot point in pygame?

I am trying to rotate an element (in my case font) in pygame around a pivot point my code is as follows:

    import pygame, time

    pygame.init()

    display_width = 800
    display_height = 800

    window = pygame.display.set_mode((display_width, display_height))
    pygame.display.set_caption("Dials")

    black = (0, 0, 0)
    white = (255, 255, 255)
    red = (255, 0, 0)
    green = (0, 255, 0)
    blue = (0, 0, 255)


clock = pygame.time.Clock()

font = pygame.font.SysFont('Arial', 50, True)

#All Images of Dials

tutorial = [pygame.image.load('Dial_Images/tutorial_base.png')]

tutorialInputs = [[1,4,3,4], [1,4,3,2], [1,4,3,2], [1,4,3,4]]

class Dial:
    def __init__(self, x, y, radius, inputs):
        self.x = x
        self.y = y
        self.radius = radius
        self.inputs = inputs
        self.columns = len(self.inputs)
        self.rows = len(self.inputs[0])

    def drawDial(self):
        for i in range(0, self.columns):
            pygame.draw.circle(window, red, (self.x, self.y), self.radius)
            pygame.draw.circle(window, black, (self.x, self.y), self.radius, 1)

        if self.rows == 4:
            input_1 = font.render(str(self.inputs[0][0]), 1, black)
            input_2 = font.render(str(self.inputs[0][1]), 1, black)
            input_3 = font.render(str(self.inputs[0][2]), 1, black)
            input_4 = font.render(str(self.inputs[0][3]), 1, black)

            window.blit(input_1, (self.x - 4, self.y - self.radius + 10))
            window.blit(input_2, (self.x + self.radius - 35, self.y - 15))
            window.blit(input_3, (self.x - 4, self.y + self.radius - 40))
            window.blit(input_4, (self.x - self.radius + 20, self.y - 15))




def level_1():
   window.fill(white)
   dial1.drawDial()


#all Dials Instantiated

dial1 = Dial(int(display_width/2), int(display_height/2), int((display_width/2) - 100), tutorialInputs)

score = 0

run = True
level1 = True

while run:
    keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()

    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            run = False
    pygame.display.update()
    clock.tick(100)

    if level1:
        level_1()



pygame.quit()   

The following will create a window and a circle with a black border and 4 numbers at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock.

I want to rotate the inputs around the center of the circle. Any pygame function that will allow me to rotate input_1 - input _4 90 degrees around the center of the circle? I saw on pygame some functions like pygame.math.vector and some other .rotate function, but I wanted the best approach.

Also, if there is a way to clean up the way I code the location of the inputs so that they align at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock that would be helpful.

Rencered text in only image/surface so you can use pygame's functions to rotate image in place (around of center of image)

image = pygame.transform.rotate(image, -angle)

and later move it to border of circle using radius and angle starting at center of circle

angle = 0 # 90, 180, 270
x = dial_center_x
y = dial_center_y
x += radius * sin(radians(angle))
y += radius * cos(radians(angle))

It is good to use pygame.Rect() to keep position and size - it has attributes like .x, .y but also .center, .centerx, .centery so it is easy to center number on dial circle

image_rect = image.get_rect()

image_rect.center = dial_rect.center

and then you can use radius and angle to move it to position of 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock and 9 o'clock or even 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, etc

angle = 0 # 90, 180, 270
image_rect.centerx += radius * sin(radians(angle))
image_rect.centery += radius * cos(radians(angle))
