I guess you are already watching the QTableWidget::cellClicked(int row, int column)-signal with some slot, or? You could try to acquire the sender, which of both buttons it was, by something similar to this:

#include <QtCore/QMetaObject>
#include <QtCore/QMetaMethod>

{
    QMetaMethod const metaMethod = sender()->metaObject()->method(senderSignalIndex());
    qDebug() << "invoking caller: name and signature:" << metaMethod.name() << "|" << metaMethod.methodSignature();
}

(please adapt yourself to PyQt).

Or: you add connections for each of the buttons for each cell at the creation.
