Yes, it is. Using the R interface, you can either write the weights explicitly 
on the edges using edge labels or decide to vary the edge width according to 
the weight. Using the Python interface, you have to represent the edges by 
varying the edge widths as the Python interface supports no labels yet. Edge 
widths can be varied by assigning the desired width to the "width" edge 
attribute. Edge labels in R can be varied by assigning the desired labels to 
the "label" edge attribute.

Simply assign the labels to the "label" vertex attribute and they will be 
plotted automatically.
