Hey, Oliver, it sounds like you don't know the price of Rational Rose ;o)

I'm sorry, I had not understood that you were a student (it is not obvious
from your mail address, and I don't think you specified the fact in your 
original question). So basically you're stuck with Rose.

If nobody said so, and you could not find anything using your favorite search
engine, then the answer is probably 'no'.

Now, depending on your Rose version, it may be possible to export your models
using the petal format (this is the Rose internal format), or XMI. XMI is an 
XML representation of an UML model. These models can be parsed and used to 
generate code. Using XMI can be done with XSLT transformations. 

So, I'm sorry I have no code for this (though I intend to keep on working on
pypasax (http://www.logilab.org/pypasax, which intends to do the oposite thing,
namely getting some python code and generating UML for it), but the above is 
how I'd do it if I were to code such thing.
