In the absence of that, you could try just asking me.  :-)

_FormParser is it, really.  What exactly did you want to do?


As for the general question: I only glanced at the other replies, but
have you tried etags?  Or for something in a single source file, as in
this case, why not just incremental search or other simple editor
commands?  It's true a bit of knowledge of common dynamic Python
idioms is valuable here, though.
