How can I separate the displays and variables in each of my tabs in PyQt?

Question

I am making a comics viewer but I have a problem.

So I have made a program that opens a new tab every time we click onto "File" and then "test". When we press on the right and left buttons on the tabs, the value of self.i (printed in the console) goes up and down.

However, the problem is that the value of self.i changes no matter the tab on which we push the left and right buttons, and the label I want to display if self.i == 1 only shows onto the last tab opened.

What I need is a way for each tab created to have their own self.i and the label to be displayed on any tab depending on their own self.i value. I can not figure out how to do this.

Here is the part that opens new tabs when "test" is clicked:

def Open(self):
    self.tab = QWidget()
    self.tab.layout = QGridLayout()
    self.nextpagebutton = QPushButton(">", self)
    self.nextpagebutton.setFixedSize(50, 780)
    self.tab.layout.addWidget(self.nextpagebutton, 0, 2)
    self.nextpagebutton.clicked.connect(self.readnext)

    self.prevpagebutton = QPushButton("<", self)
    self.prevpagebutton.setFixedSize(50, 780)
    self.tab.layout.addWidget(self.prevpagebutton, 0, 0)
    self.prevpagebutton.clicked.connect(self.readprev)

    self.n = int(self.n)+1
    self.tabs.addTab(self.tab, "Tab "+str(self.n))
    self.tab.setLayout(self.tab.layout)

Here is the part that shows a label when self.i equals to 1:

    def readnext(self):
        self.i+=1
        if self.i == 1:
            self.label = QLabel("testtext")
            self.tab.layout.addWidget(self.label, 0, 1)
        print(self.i)

    def readprev(self):
        self.i-=1
        if self.i == 1:
            self.label = QLabel("testtext")
            self.tab.layout.addWidget(self.label, 0, 1)
        print(self.i)

Here is my full program, you can try it, it works:

        self.i = 0

        self.setGeometry(self.left, self.top, self.width, self.height)
