In pyQT5 how do you conditionally hide a tab in a widget?

Question

I've created a widget and I've applied several form layouts to tabs within the widget. I would like to make some tabs available based on some boolean flags.

I've tried tab_my_tab.setEnabled(False) which disables the content of the tab, but it doesn't hide the tab. I'd like it if the tab is completely hidden.

I've found the solution to my question. I was able to hide one or more tabs by using the setTabVisible(index, bool) method on the QTabWidget() .

To hide multiple tabs you have to start hiding the highest index number tab first before hiding the lower index number tabs.
