    k=(int(button.objectName()[5:])+1)
    stage.setText('stage%d'%k)
    self.Layout.addWidget(stage,(location[0]+1),0)

Assuming you are using a QVBoxLayout you have to use the insertWidget() method:

from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui

class Widget(QtGui.QLineEdit):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(Widget, self).__init__(parent)
        lay = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self)
        for i in range(5):
            btn = QtGui.QPushButton(
                'button {}'.format(i),
                clicked=self.on_clicked
            )
            lay.addWidget(btn)

    @QtCore.pyqtSlot()
    def on_clicked(self):
        btn = self.sender()
        ix = self.layout().indexOf(btn)
        new_btn = QtGui.QPushButton(
            "button {}".format(self.layout().count()),
            clicked=self.on_clicked
        )
        self.layout().insertWidget(ix+1, new_btn)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys

    app = QtGui.QApplication.instance()
    if app is None:
        app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    w = Widget()
    w.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
