    modeling python with UML

    Hi,

    I was trying to model some classes, modules and packages of mine with UML
    and got the following problem:

    Packages would be moduled as UML packages i presume.

    If your module contains only functions you can model them as static class
    methods, either by writing a dummy class that takes them up or by
    representing the file as a class.

    However, if you module contains several classes - what do you do then?

    Ciao
    Uwe

      Just mark the class containing the global functions and variables with the
      <<utility>> stereotype? A naming convention could be helpful, too.

          Could be, or as components since they are physical deployable
          entities...

          Yes, thats one approach, or they could be an inteface to your
          component.

          UML packages are logical containers that can contain any other
          UML item (classes, usecases, components, other packages...). Thus
          a package can contain several classes. What exactly do you
          perceive to be the problem?
