UML tool for Python

[Andre Meyer]

Hy Pythoneers

Is there a UML tool that generates Python code? Maybe even
reverse-engineer the design from code?

Ideally it would integrate with Eclipse and PyDev. I have found ArgoUML
to be quite nice, but it lacks both of these features that I have
already suggested as new features. I doubt, however, that they will do
this given the fact that Eclipse has its own tool framework.

thanks for any hints

If you're open to COTS, Object Domain can both forward- and
reverse-engineer Python code (it is written in Java). I've
used it successfully for relatively simple code, and it seems
to work well and be a reasonably well-designed tool.

I don't know of any other UML tool that has those features.

Also, amongst its features:
"Full Python source code for documentation and glossary
generation is included allowing customization and extension."
I haven't experimented with that, though.
