I am looking for a GUI tool for modeling Django model classes.

I have a pretty large app and I need to refactor it.
I used django-extensions and graph_models to dump the schema to the GraphViz dot file.
And I am stuck here :}

I would like to import either GraphViz dot file, or models source files, make changes and generate output Python+Django code.

Has anyone did something like that?

If you can generate the DDL with your tools, build the new database
and point inspectdb at it to generate Django models:

This is a very good hint.
Somehow I had to skipped the inspectdb command.

There is humongous number of the DB designing tools.

Thank you.

I'll try the SQLeditor, thanks for the input.

But I like navicat very much.
