When you get into the Python code (I can help with this, if you need it) think about organizing it such that you can use multiple output mechanisms. For example, default it to use dot as you have been talking about but allow for the use of tikz as Erik Fraga mentioned in August. This would imply converting to some intermediate representation from the table form and then passing that data to a dynamically selected back-end output engine. I suggest tikz as an alternative since it can make such beautiful graphs. I haven't made use of babel yet so I don't know all its ins and outs but I expect that there are ways of passing additional information to the language doing the heavy lifting so we could add various output modules...
