Olaf,

Have you tried looking at Doxygen (http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/) It
is a tool aimed at C/C++/C# but it can have a filter applied to it to
produce C++ stubs that represent Python code. To get a decent output you
must comment it in a specific manner - like with javadocs.

There is a filter by a guy called Matthias Baas that does this to a limited
extent (http://i31www.ira.uka.de/~baas/pydoxy/) although he is considering
re-writing this filter to do more. At present it is based on tokenize and he
is thinking of moving to use parser.
