Take a look at:
http://dkbza.org/pydot.html

It's a python interface which can produce dot format files (based on its internal
graph API) and run graphviz for you.

I'm not sure which trace.py you're referring to, but I assume it dumps some output file.
You have a couple of obvious ways to get what you want:

1) modify trace.py to create a pydot graph structure then write to file
2) make a script that parses the trace.py output to create a pydot graph structure then write to file
