I'm releasing today a utility we use at Logilab for documenting the code 
of Narval. We call it pypasax. It uses the parser module to extract 
information about classes and methods and generates an XML tree from this.
We are working on XSLT to generate XMI files so that we can import the data 
in some UML tool such as ArgoUML.
