Not directly, currently graph-tool does not have a function to sample
from the weighted SBM.

If you open a ticket in the website with the feature requiest, I will
implement this when I find the time.

It would be valid as a reasonable approximation, since the models become
equivalent as the number of edges becomes sufficiently large.
