  http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tl.eggdeps
    is a tool that extracts dependency graphs from egg metadata and
    produces a .dot file

  http://code.google.com/p/jrfonseca/wiki/XDot
    is an interactive .dot viewer (PyGtk + Cairo)

  http://pypi.python.org/pypi/gtkeggdeps
    builds on top of tl.eggdeps and expresses the graph as a tree

Unfortunately even these tools didn't help much in untangling the big
core dependency cycle, during the Foliage sprint last year.
