Eclipse does something for Java that I think is useful.  There is an 
option "Compress all package name segments, except the final segment" in 
the appearance options that allows you to use a string to determine how 
much of each path segment should be shown.  I think the same could be 
applied to Python.  For example, the path:

/long/package/name/with/module.py

And the compression string (set in the options):

2/

Would produce:

/lo/pa/na/wi/module.py

Enough to identify what you're working on, but small(ish) enough to fit 
on a tab.
