Which Python editor has this feature?

I am studying the PyUSB package now as the learning object of how to write a Python program in a "formal" way. In those modules, there are many comment inserted between codes to explain what it does. It's good to the user comprehension, but also easily makes a Class size expanded to over 100 lines. Also many Classes has the same named method such as __getitem__ etc. When searching a specific name I usually have to roll back the screen a few times to find out what Class I am looking at. That's really annoy.

But, just like you said, this feature may be not so useful to a Python programmer. I should try the editor I am using now to see if I can "patch" a such feature, just as you had did on SciTE before:-)
