Answer 1

You might want to insert an empty widget, before the last one and then disable it and set it to transparent. That achieves what you want. Attaching an example code for that.

from PyQt4 import QtGui
import sys

def main():

    app     = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    tabW    = QtGui.QTabWidget()
    tabW.setStyleSheet("QTabBar::tab:disabled {"+\
                        "width: 300px;"+\
                        "color: transparent;"+\
                        "background: transparent;}")
    pushButton1 = QtGui.QPushButton("QPushButton 1")
    pushButton2 = QtGui.QPushButton("QPushButton 2")

    tab1    = QtGui.QWidget()    
    tab2    = QtGui.QWidget()
    emptySpace = QtGui.QWidget()
    tab3    = QtGui.QWidget()

    vBoxlayout    = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
    vBoxlayout.addWidget(pushButton1)
    vBoxlayout.addWidget(pushButton2)

    #Resize width and height
    tabW.resize(500, 500)


    #Set Layout for Third Tab Page
    tab3.setLayout(vBoxlayout)   

    tabW.addTab(tab1,"Tab 1")
    tabW.addTab(tab2,"Tab 2")
    tabW.addTab(emptySpace,"ES")
    tabW.setTabEnabled(2,False)
    tabW.addTab(tab3,"Tab 3")

    tabW.setWindowTitle('PyQt QTabWidget Add Tabs and Widgets Inside Tab')
    tabW.show()

    sys.exit(app.exec_())


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
