Hi,

  There is a script, semanticdb.sh, which you can use to pre-parse
lots of files.  If you are starting the project from scratch, then
there is no need to pre-parse anything if you always edit in Emacs.  I
haven't used this in a while (ie, years), so am not sure of it's
current state.

  If you use the CVS version of CEDET, then a change I made over the
weekend will do the mass parsing of files for tags in idle time.
Thus, if you are editing a file, then get up to get a cup of coffee,
it will have then pre-parsed all files relevant to what you were
working on.

  I'm not too sure about the python part though.  The C code support
knows about C style include paths.  I (personally) know nothing about
python, and suspect you may need to add include paths.  You could do
this:

(defvar-mode-local python-mode semantic-dependency-include-path
  '("/some/path" "/to/code")
  "System path to search for include files.")

  where you point the path at your python library files, headers,
whatever python uses.  This will give you completion on system
libraries in Python.

  Once you have that set up, look in the Senator menu "Navigate".
There are two jump functions.  If there is more than one hit for a
name, press TAB, to show where each is so you can choose.

  Since I don't use Python, you may find it doesn't have a complete
set of configuration for Semantic.  Adding the right features won't be
too hard for someone who knows Python.

Eric
