Honest question: I haven't used AI much. Are there any AIs or IDEs that can reliably rename a variable across all instances in a medium sized Python project? I don't mean easy stuff that an editor can do (e.g. rename QQQ in all instances and get lucky that there are no conflicts). I mean be able to differentiate between local and/or library variables so it doesn't change them, only the correct versions.

I'm going to laugh in Java, where this has always been possible and reliable. Not like ai reliable, but expert reliable. Because of static types.
