Well, I had some success with this, once.  I'm pretty sure I was using
"happydoc" to do it. Try googling for that.  It can create a dia file with
UML formatting, IIRC.  If it wasn't that, it had to be "pydoc", which is
also quite useful.

I wouldn't call this "reverse engineering" by the way, but rather 
"self documentation".

Cheers,
Terry
