Carl, Some well known design applications have plugins for UML<->Python translation. For example EnterpriseArchitect (http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/resources/mdg_tech/) has a plugin for Python. ObjectDomain though supports it natively: http://www.objectdomain.com/products/od/overview.do
The good thing about Python is that it is concise enough to not need UML diagrams. Python can be used as a prototype language itself. In other words it could take longer to draw the UML diagram than it would take to type up a mock-up in Python. While with Java, for example, it is very helpful to have a code generation application to take care of all the getters and setters. But of course if you have non-technical people who just know how to read UML diagrams, it makes sense to invest in a good design tool. Hope this helps, -Nick Carl J.
