FWIW, someone started python support in kdevelop as a GSOC project. I know
there is a working parser in playground, but I'm not sure of it's current
state. This may be a good place to start, if you have plans for a creator
plugin, or want to continue to pursue it in kdevelop.

There was not much work done generting a code model (duchain, as it's called
in kdev) from the parsed AST.
