By the nature of Python and the size of programs normally 
written I'd say there is no modelling tool used *normally*.

If a project is big enough to warrant a modelling tool then 
any of the normal tools would be adequate.

Personally I have used Borland Together, Rational Rose,
Visio, Dia and xfig plus a couple of really expensive 
Enterprise Architecture tools for which I happened 
to have licenses at the time... All of them worked
within their own limitations.

Sorry, never heard of that one.

See the list above :-)
Do you have a price range?
Do you have any particular features you need? 
For example do you want a fancy drawing tool (eg Visio) 
or do you want the tool to syntax check UML? 
Or generate code? Or reverse engineer existing code? 
To generate documents? Single or multi-user? Integration 
with change control tools or IDEs? etc etc etc.
