Has anyone looked at Doxygen?

THIS is what I want!  I can run Doxygen at the top level of a program 
sourc tree and it will traverse the tree, read all of the fiiles and 
make up a VERY comprehensive set of browsable documentation. Wow.

The only drawback is that, in order to make Doxygen work on Python, I 
have to cause it to run the source code through a filter that 
converts all of the Python source to pseudo-C++. The results are 
very much what I want to see. Extremely complete and extensive. But 
all of the source 'looks" like C++ :-(

If not for that, Doxygen would be utterly perfect.

If Synopsis would present the level of results available from Doxygen 
AND be language agnostic, it could be the killer app for source code 
documentation browsing.

I wrote:
I have (at my workplace) a set of Python source files that will 
become a single executable process. The code is made up of many .py 
files and assorted subdirectories. It is NOT a package.

The "main" file imports 50 additional files which, in turn, import others.

What I want to see is the source, classes, functions, etc for the 
entire executable program.

Is there a way I can get this information from synopsis?

I would find this functionality to be of great value. I think others 
would as well.
