I usually use PyCharm in a very similar manner, to browse others code locally. This is much more efficient compared to e.g. browsing/reading the code on GitHub. Whenever I spend more than a few minutes browsing some code on GitHub, I just clone the repo instead and open it in PyCharm. Finding some usages of some function, or simple searching for some string or so is much faster and more comfortable (also because the search on GitHub is so limited). I can only recommend this workflow to anyone who reads others source code. And reading others source code is anyway also something I would recommend everyone.

About Sourcetrail, I see from the homepage that it also has some additional graphical representation. Is this more helpful over what PyCharm already offers?

If so, maybe this also can be a feature request to PyCharm.

Another vote for the git clone / pycharm workflow. If I'm thinking I might end up tweaking the code I might fork instead of clone to make generating a pull request a simple click in the browser. But I'm definitely in love with Pycharm. Even to the point of using it to evaluate code on remote servers locally on my laptop. Just perfect.
