Hey, thanks for your input. I will look into using pyenv so that might solve my problem with "go to definitions".

However, I was also having a lot of trouble with environment variables, especially PYTHONPATH. How do you solve that?

Also rope did NOT work well for me. When I tried to refactor (rename) a function definition, it also changed variables in unrelated scopes that had the same name and were not related to the function at all. So I did not gain anything from that which I couldn't achieve using CTRL+F replace.

I've never had any trouble with PYTHONPATH, I guess this is solved by pyenv with virtualenv. You just need to select the project interpreter the first time you open the project and it should just work.

I haven't used rope extensively, it's too bad that it doesn't work well. It's open source so I guess it needs more contributions.
