I can only add that when you add the newest ctags
(http://ctags.sourceforge.net), you have tags for Python, too. If you don't
know what this means (I didn't until recently), I'll try to explain:

Run a ctags -R from time to time in your project directory to update the tags
file. Then you can hit ^] and VIM will jump to the definition of the identifier
under the cursor. IOW, it's the famous "Go to definition" feature of an IDE.
