PyDev (http://pydev.org/) is able to do that (i.e.: if the find definition
doesn't find it directly, it shows a list with possible matches for you to
choose the most appropriate one: http://pydev.org/manual_adv_gotodef.html)
-- additionally, you can also search for methods/classes/attributes
directly: http://pydev.org/manual_adv_open_decl_quick.html

Cheers,
