It would be a good tool that allows you to see logic-- extra points for dynamic! A quick Google for 'python flow chart' turns up 'Visustin' (commercial + demo), 'Flowchart Python', & others. http://www.google.com/search?q=python+flow+chart . The "bird's eye view" in Visustin is pretty cool. Control-flow-only could be a lot simpler, just filtering statements with 'if/while/for', and try-except, not even in diagram. It's on the way for the open source IDE, right? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
