Many times the best reference when using a library is it's source code. (in python especially.) So many times i find myself jumping with F3 into installed libraries which works very fine. Thanks for that.

But sometimes I would like to see which file/library I'm in. And many times I want to explore deeper into the library and F3 doesn't work any more. For these cases package explorer or file explorer for installed libraries/eggs would be perfect.

I'm very happy with pydev and this is the most important missing feature for me. Or it's there and I missed it somehow?

Workaround would be to set-up pydev projects for every library but with frameworks like turbogears (dependent on 20 libraries) this is a lot of work.
