Navigating Python modules with ctags in Vim?

ctags, exuberant-ctags, ide, python, vim

Solution

If you generate your tags file using exuberant ctags (Is there any other way?) then try adding the `--extra=+f` option. See the man page at http://ctags.sourceforge.net/ctags.html#OPTIONS for details.

Problem

I'm using Vim with ctags for Python and that works very well for classes, fields, etc, but what it doesn't seem to include are Python file names aka module names. Is this possible? I'd far prefer to type `ta <module>` to jump to a module, rather than navigate level-by-level with a file browser like NERDtree, and I'm very accustomed to doing this in Java, which works out since class names are file names.
