To Mr. fernando,
In biopython there is a module Bio.Phylo which can draw tree. But Bio.Phylo doesn’t infer trees from alignments itself, there are third-party programs available that do such as PhyML. These are supported through the module Bio.Phylo.Applications. Besides, there are also some other software to construct tree from alignment results including MrBayes or PHYLIP. You could see http://biopython.org/DIST/docs/tutorial/Tutorial.html of the 13.5 section for further information.

Best wishes
Wu Qi
