Double right-click listener for a QTableWidget

Question

I have a PyQt5 QTableWidget for which I want to detect double-right-click events.

Here is my \'design.py\' module:

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtWidget

You can use an event-filter to watch for a MouseButtonDblClick event:

class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        ...
        self.tblBoxes.viewport().installEventFilter(self)

    def eventFilter(self, source, event):
        if (event.type() == QtCore.QEvent.MouseButtonDblClick and
            event.buttons() == QtCore.Qt.RightButton and
            source is self.tblBoxes.viewport()):
            item = self.tblBoxes.itemAt(event.pos())
            if item is not None:
                print('dblclick:', item.row(), item.column())
        return super(MainWindow, self).eventFilter(source, event)
