I assume you mean basic blocks and edges? For that, you can already use the CFG pretty printers with a file attached to a pipe and sent through XDot (http://code.google.com/p/jrfonseca/wiki/XDot) which is written in Python and quite easy to integrate in a GDB Python routine. (I did just that not too long ago but I can't find the code just now.) Ciao! Steven
