If you mean as a simple text representation, then sort of. Try the
Bio.Nexus tree objects print methods.

Do you meant draw a nice diagram (e.g. as a PDF or PNG file)? If
so, no, not at the moment. Some of the Google Summer of Code
project work including linking to NetworkX for graphics... this has
not yet been merged into Biopython.
