It would be a good tool that allows you to see logic-- extra points

A quick Google for 'python flow chart' turns up 'Visustin' (commercial
+ demo), 'Flowchart Python', & others.  http://www.google.com/search?q=python+flow+chart
.  The "bird's eye view" in Visustin is pretty cool.

with 'if/while/for', and try-except, not even in diagram.  It's on the
