Hello, I'm looking for a tool which can read Python files and write a corresponding XMI file for import into UML tools.
Ideally, the conversion tool should: - be open source or freeware - be available for Linux - be a command line tool - allow to specify exactly the Python files that should to be taken into account - include operations, together with their parameters - include attributes (in the UML sense) if possible (I know this isn't reliable) Here are some programs I found via PyPI or search engine and tried so far. All of them miss something I'd really like to have. - pyreverse (now included with Pylint): http://www.logilab.org/857 I think this has the most potential. You can specify the files to import on the command line. There are many output formats for the information from the Python code, but XMI doesn't seem to be included. There are a few formats that could be parsed and turned into XMI (plain, plain-ext). Unfortunately, pyreverse doesn't include the parameters of operations. - Umbrello: http://uml.sourceforge.net/ Umbrello is a graphical KDE tool. You can specify either single files or whole directories including subdirectories. In my case, one of the subdirectories is for unit tests, which clutters the UML model. Attributes (again, in the UML sense) are seemingly not considered but operations. The parameters and return values of the latter, however, are all output as of type "string". - Gaphor: http://gaphor.sourceforge.net/ Gaphor is a GUI tool allowing to specify the files one by one which might be ok for a few files but surely becomes tedious if there are some more. The generated diagram, which can be exported to XMI, lacks the parameters of the operations. Do you have any other suggestions for programs I should have a look at? Does someone even has written such a tool and has not published it yet? :) Stefan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
