I don't know of any existing well-developed tool, take a look at the "inspect" module from 2.1.
There are a number of introspection tricks you can do using various hidden variables of objects, classes, etc. take a look at attributes starting with func_, co_, and im_. The book "Python Programming Patterns" has a few examples of walking these relations, inheritance, etc. I'll take a look in it later today, if there's something particularily useful I'll let you know.
