Skip python "import" statements in exuberant ctags

Question

if I have two files

file a.py:

class A():     pass 

file b.py:

from a import A b = A() 

When I use ctags and press Ctrl+] in vim, it redirects me to import statement, not to class definition. In this code all is ok:

file a.py:

class A():     pass 

file b.py:

from a import * b = A() 

Answer 1

You can add the following line to your ~/.ctags file.

--python-kinds=-i

to have ctags skip indexing import statements. To see what else you can enable/disable:

ctags --list-kinds=python
