I've really only used Rational Rose, but that tool is really limited in both directions. Class structure to class diagrams work both ways (not for Python, but for Java and C++ at least) but that's just a tiny part of UML. I don't expect any tool to do anything meaningful about e.g. use case diagrams, but what about activity diagrams, sequence diagrams, collaboration diagrams and state diagrams? I agree that the brain is poor at such things, but I doubt that any current tool is much better except for trivial subsets of UML. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
