Provide a (heuristic) python syntax analyzer that cross references tokens in the source file with either definitions or their documentation. This could be similar to SXR, though due to the dynamic typing in python with only reduced use, as in most cases the referee has to be guessed. For inspiration look into http://sf.net/projects/pyxr and doxygen.
The new Python parser generates a code view that has the potential to become cross-referenced. As a first step the Python.ASTTranslator should embedd anchors that allow the source view to be linked with the documentation. The current version already adds links, but only from documentation to the code view, not the other way around. To get a more complete cross-reference we need to use some heuristics, due to python's dynamic nature. It is possible for example to add an introspector that loads a given module, instead of only parsing (and thus statically analyzing) it.
