[BangPypers] UML <=> Python...and other things...

[Banibrata Dutta]

BOUML, and it's creator, Bruno, both are amazing. For those who have not
known Bruno, he is a 1 man army. Even if you don't do any UML/OOD-RevEngg, I
encourage people to try out BOUML (esply if you've used other leading
commercial OOD tools). The speed, size and overall functionality of BOUML
blows everything (including competing FOSS) away.
