Using the pastebin example I changed the AddTab method too:
def AddTab(self, item):
if item.text() == "Foo":
# Add a QWidget to your tab.... self.TabWidget
# use any method here.. uic.loadUiType() or just define your own class's in this file for each tab.
tabForm ,tabBase = uic.loadUiType(thisDir + "/tab.ui")
self.MainTab.addTab(tabBase(), "FooTab")
if item.text() == "Foo":
# Add a QWidget to your tab.... self.TabWidget
# use any method here.. uic.loadUiType() or just define your own class's in this file for each tab.
tabForm ,tabBase = uic.loadUiType(thisDir + "/tab.ui")
self.MainTab.addTab(tabBase(), "FooTab")
tab.ui is a QWidget based ui. MainTab is the named QTabWidget created in the uiMain.ui. (I commented that section out). Anyway, when I clicked on "Foo" it creates the "FooTab", but it does NOT contain any of the widgets that I created tab.ui.
Thanks,

Yes totally,
Just add a signal that calls a method to add a QWidget to a QTabWidget
How you create the QWidget would be up to you. You could just create a QWidget class for each tab, or use loadUiType with a factory function.
Form, Base = uic.loadUiType(uifile)

You should see the pastbin file above.
The ui file I can't upload but you should be able to create your main UI with Designer...
