I am curious whether you know about ECB, or Emacs Code Browser.  It opens
speedbar and a few other neat buffers when you do an "M-x ecb-activate". 
One of the buffers is a class browser that I have seen work well for java,
C, lisp and php.  I'll bet it can do python too.  The buffer shows info
like the following (a java example).  If you middle-click a line, it jumps
you to that part of the code.
