Well by golly you have trashed my Python project!  ;-)

I was tinkering with Python code parsing stuff to automatically model 
Zope components as UML in Visio.

Looks like you're doing that by hand, which is fine for me.

Very nice..

But, would you also consider making available your Visio or MS 
Repository database so those of us with Visio can enjoy your labor 
without a gazillion clicks?

Other suggestion: also unroll the html frames into a single PDF that 
reads "sorta like a book". I know that doubles the work, and the frame 
UML is very slick, but sometimes to get the big picture you really need 
to layout sheets of paper on your desk and move them around..

Wow, this is very nice! Thanks for doing this!
