Emacs plugin to list all methods in a python module

Question

Is there a emacs plugin which lists all the methods in the module in a side pane.

I am looking for a plugin which has keyboard shortcuts to show/hide all the methods in python module file currently opened.

Answer 1

For the first question, use M-xspeed-bar, like Alex suggested.

For the second, enable hs-minor-mode, M-xhs-minor-mode, and use C-cC-@C-S-h to hide all methods, and C-cC-@C-S-s to show.

Answer 2

I suggest using elpy.

C-c C-o runs elpy-occur-definitions which creates a new buffer with a list of all the class and function signatures.

You can navigate the list using C-n and C-p. The mode works with next-error-follow minor mode. So C-c C-f inside the buffer enables jumping to the class or function definition selected.

Here's an example of the contents of that buffer:

8 matches for "^ *\(def\|class\) " in buffer: leveling_utils.py
 11:def leveling(episodes_with_potential_associations_by_member):
 26:def _apply_leveling(sorted_episodes):
 41:def _set_non_chronic_associations(episode):
 73:def _apply_sub_to_procedural_association(assoc):
 94:def _set_chronic_associations(episode):
102:def _set_associations_for_self(episode):
118:def _set_to_actual(association):
122:def _log_actual_associations(member, leveled_episodes):

By the way, it has many other useful features that to me, make it a necessary addition to python-mode.

You can look to ECB (it's better to take my fork of it, as it's adapted to fresh Emacs & CEDET) - it can display information about source code fetching it from Semantic (CEDET subpackage) or via imenu (for languages that aren't supported by Semantic).

Speedbar (included into GNU Emacs) can also show a list of top level objects, but doesn't show differences between imports, functions of other top-level stuff
