It should be possible to navigate the various layout's children to get
at the correct instance.    I haven't tried this, so you're going to
have to experiment.  (Python's interactive shell is one of its best
features.)

May I suggest that it might me simpler to use a placeholder.  Use
designer to place a QFrame where you'd like to add your control
programmatically.
