How to get the right table row index in pyQt5 contextMenuEvent

Question

I need to get the table row index during a contextMenuEvent in pyQt5, but I keep getting odd row offsets. Since this is my first pyQt project, I'm quite lost. I have the following code.

def contextMenuEvent(self, event):

    menu = QMenu(self)
    openAction = menu.addAction('Open in browser')
    action = menu.exec_(event.globalPos())

    if action == openAction:
        row = self.tableWidget.rowAt(event.y())  # Should this be event.globalY? 
        self.so_something(row)

Edit: adding code sample. You can see that when the execution gets to the event produced when right-clicking on a row, the printed number is not the correct row number. Usually it has an offset, and last rows produce -1.

The coordinate that rowAt() method requires must be with respect to the viewport of the QTableWidget so you must convert the global position to local using mapFromGlobal() method:

def contextMenuEvent(self, event):
    gp = event.globalPos()
    menu = QMenu(self)
    openAction = menu.addAction("Open in browser")
    action = menu.exec_(gp)
    vp_pos = self.tableWidget.viewport().mapFromGlobal(gp)
    row = self.tableWidget.rowAt(vp_pos.y())

    if action == openAction:
        print(row)
