Description
CScope has been around for years, and is a very useful tool to get a handle on C source code. Pycscope is an attempt to bring those benefits to the world of Python. Unfortunately, the existing version is woefully out of date. We take a walk through an attempt to update it, correct some flaws and make it more generally useful to us, while giving us a view into the Python parser.
