QScrollArea with a QWidget in a QSplitter - python-2.7

Question

I´m making a project for my class, and I need to put a scrollArea in a widget (I choosed a splitter) and I want to push a button and create more scrollArea inside this widget. This is what I´ve done:
I create the button like this:
self.AddCanal = QAction(QIcon(), "Add channel", self, shortcut = "Shift+Ctrl+c", triggered = self.addChannel)
And I put it in a QToolBar().
Then, I create the scrollArea. I put the scrollArea with the Qwidget (in this case I use a QwtPlot) in a QSplitter (splitter1), and then I put a frame and the splitter in another splitter (splitter2). And at last, I put splitter2 and another frame in one last splitter (splitter3). You can see it here:
self.scrollLayout = QFormLayout()
self.canal = QwtPlot()
self.canal.setLayout(self.scrollLayout)
self.scrollArea = QScrollArea()
self.scrollArea.setWidgetResizable(True)
self.scrollArea.setWidget(self.canal)
self.scrollArea = QScrollArea()
self.scrollArea.setWidgetResizable(True)
self.scrollArea.setWidget(self.canal)
splitter2 = QSplitter(Qt.Horizontal)
splitter2.addWidget(self.frame)
splitter2.addWidget(splitter1)
splitter3 = QSplitter(Qt.Vertical)
splitter3.addWidget(splitter2)
splitter3.addWidget(self.frame_3)
I made it like this, because in one frame I will put a tree widget, and in the bottom frame i will put a QtextEdit().
Well, now I need that the button, when click it, creates another scrollArea in the splitter1. And I want to create at minimum 5 extra scrollAreas.
How can I accomplish this?

I solve it creating a method like this:
def addChannel(self):
global channelCount
self.scrollLayout = QFormLayout()
self.canal = QwtPlot()
self.canal.setLayout(self.scrollLayout)
self.scrollArea = QScrollArea()
self.scrollArea.setWidgetResizable(True)
self.scrollArea.setWidget(self.canal)
if channelCount <= 5:
self.splitter1.addWidget(self.scrollArea)
channelCount += 1
return channelCount
using "channelCount" as a global variable starting it in 1, just because i only want 5.
And i add:
self.addchannel()
at the QMainWindow class
Hope it can help somebody.
