I've implemented a small script available here:

https://framagit.org/snippets/3594

It's compatible with both Python 2 and Python3 and it's using Python's ast module which should make it very 
robust in terms of how it finds Python classes and functions, but there is a caveat: it needs to be called 
using the same version of Python than the project it has to parse the code of.

Please let me know if this kind of script would be enough.

Cheers!
