Ah, I found it.

$ which python
/sw/bin/python

That's from fink. I just did

$ sudo chmod 0 /sw/bin/python*
$ which python
/usr/bin/python

and it worked.

Yeah, it's better. But it's still not as easy as with Emacs. Any  
reason you're not just jumping to the file? Ah, there might be  
multiple matches for the function.

A sleazy way of doing it would be to keep a stack in a temporary file  
somewhere in the user's home directory and provide shortcuts for the  
next tag, previous position, etc.

I've not seen at the source of your Bundle (and I don't speak Python,  
so it might take me some time to catch up), but what I'm talking  
about would be along the lines of:

- User hits Ctrl-]
	find matches in ctag file
	Pop TM_CURRENT_WORD, TM_CURRENT_FILE, TM_CURRENT_LINE from file
	if popped something,
		skip to ctag after the one we popped
	else
		jump to matching tag
- User hits Ctrl-[
	Pop TM_CURRENT_WORD, TM_CURRENT_FILE, TM_CURRENT_LINE from file
	Jump to it
	
Do you see where I'm going? Do you think that would work?
