It's not free, but I have had good success with Enterprise Architect from Sparx Systems (http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/). It will generate class diagrams from Python, C/C++, C#, Java. It also supports the full complement of UML diagrams - sequence diagrams are a special treat when you just drag a message arrow and get a drop-down list of the defined interface on the target object.
When you go to their website, they refer to several license levels - here is the Rosetta Stone for figuring out what you want: http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/products/ea/editions.html. The low-end Desktop version is pretty stripped down, you will need to get at least the Pro level to get the reverse engineering feature. (We use the Pro edition at our office.) There is an academic Pro license for US$105, and there is an annual fee for getting updates. We use it at work to generate class diagrams during design, review, and as part of the code handoff to our clients. It's also great for reverse engineering when you get handed an only-partially-documented API, or a big mess of source code. There is also a free trial, so you could download that and try your hand at reverse engineering some Python code - maybe an existing package like PIL or something. Sadly, I've even used it to reverse engineer some of my *own* C# code - it was a project I hadn't touched for about 2 years, and the generated diagrams were a useful memory jogger as to what I had put where. (If you have ever downloaded pyparsing, the included class diagrams were created using EA - by hand, unfortunately, as Python support had not yet been added when I first started creating these diagrams.) -- Paul _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
