According to http://droogs.org/autodia/, Python is supported now, as
is PHP, DBI, Torque, SQL, and Umbrello. So at least for the inital
generation, AutoDia should be good. The idea of updating is
interesting, but would probably require some work. Very useful for
when you've put a lot of time into arranging the diagram, though, you
may want to talk to Trevena about that possibility.
