if you're parsing Python source code, consider using the tokenize module:

    http://docs.python.org/lib/module-tokenize.html

if you don't have to support "broken" source code, the parse module may
be even more useful:

    http://docs.python.org/lib/module-parser.html

for simpler cases, the "class browser" parser may be an even better choice:
