Using cscope to browse Python code with VIM?

Has anyone managed successfully using cscope with Python code? I have VIM 7.2 and the latest version of cscope installed, however it doesn't get my code's tags correctly (always off by a couple of lines). I tried the pycscope script but its output isn't supported by the modern version of cscope.

Any ideas? Or an alternative for browsing Python code with VIM? (I'm specifically interested in the extra features cscope offers beyond the simple tags of ctags)

I got the same question you got, after browsing the internet, I found a way to fix this:

create a python script: cscope_scan.py

import os

codeRootDir = os.getcwd()

__revision__ = '0.1'
__author__ = 'lxd'

FILE_TYPE_LIST= ['py']

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import os
    f = open('cscope.files','w')
    for root,dirs,files in os.walk(codeRootDir):
        for file in files:
            for file_type in FILE_TYPE_LIST:
                if file.split('.')[-1] == file_type:
                    f.write('%s\n' %os.path.join(root,file))
    f.close()
    cmd = 'cscope -bk'
    os.system(cmd)

excute this script under you code's root folder, this will generate the cscope.files and then excute cscope -b I don't know what happens to my computer, the last two lines aren't working well, but I think manually type a cscope -bk is acceptable:)
