Using this example written in C++ I translated it to PySide2 in addition to giving them certain improvements:

import random
from PySide2 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets


class SlidingStackedWidget(QtWidgets.QStackedWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(SlidingStackedWidget, self).__init__(parent)

        self.m_direction = QtCore.Qt.Horizontal
        self.m_speed = 500
        self.m_animationtype = QtCore.QEasingCurve.OutCubic
        self.m_now = 0
        self.m_next = 0
        self.m_wrap = False
        self.m_pnow = QtCore.QPoint(0, 0)
        self.m_active = False

        self.m_direction = direction

    def setSpeed(self, speed):
        self.m_speed = speed

    def setAnimation(self, animationtype):
        self.m_animationtype = animationtype

        self.m_wrap = wrap

    @QtCore.Slot()
    def slideInPrev(self):
        now = self.currentIndex()
        if self.m_wrap or now > 0:
            self.slideInIdx(now - 1)

    @QtCore.Slot()
    def slideInNext(self):
        now = self.currentIndex()
        if self.m_wrap or now < (self.count() - 1):
            self.slideInIdx(now + 1)

    def slideInIdx(self, idx):
        if idx > (self.count() - 1):
            idx = idx % self.count()

        ):
            animation = QtCore.QPropertyAnimation(
                self.widget(index),
                b"pos",

class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):

            label.setStyleSheet(

                % (color.name(),)

Nota: For PyQt5 only change Slot to pyqtSlot
