I've often wanted something that would help globally change things like function and method names including across multiple files. Even variable names in large functions (ideally functions should be small enough that this is not a problem but sometime shit happens). I am not great at picking good names to begin with and often code drift makes them even worse with time. Editor search and replace doesn't cut it. Other things like finding all uses of various objects/functions etc would also be useful now and then but I suppose that is a common IDE capability? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
