If you can't find anything that's already packaged up and polished,
one possibility is to use the parser and/or compiler.ast modules in
Python to analyze your code, then produce something that graphviz can
consume.

Graphviz is something really nice to have in your bag of tricks,
anyway.

I'm not sure this is the best counterexample.  You can see statically
that A potentially creates an instance of the B class.
