Goto File for Python

This is a simple utility to improve vim's standard goto file gf mapping in python. It can find most things, but not all.

It iterates through python's sys.path and looks for modules where one would typically expect to find them.

For example:

  • gf on os finds os.py.
  • gf on email.base64mime finds email/base64mime.py.
  • gf on sqlite3 finds sqlite3/__init__.py.

It does not find more complicated relationships like os.path.

I have a solution to find things like os.path, but the implementation could be considered unsafe. It would involve attempting to import it, and so depending on what one tries to find, it could be dangerous as the code would in effect be evaluated.
