happydoc has a --dia option which make it generate UML diagram
readable by Gnome dia [1].

Another tool able to generate UML diagram from python source code is
pyreverse [2], which generate diagram for argouml [3] and sooner for
vcg [4]. 

Note that the current pyreverse version has a little bug in the
pyargo.py file (you should put the "import sys" statement on the top
fo the file instead of its current location). A new release of
pyreverse fixing this bug and providing vcg diagram generation will be
available in a few days.
