While I can feel your pain regarding the use case you describe, I don't think this has enough general value to add to CPython.  It is not really related to PYTHONHASHSEED, since we never made guarantees about hash values being stable across platforms and Python versions.  PYTHONHASHSEED was introduced to address backwards compatibility for the rare cases where stable hash values are required within a platform/version combination.

Without knowing anything about your libraries, would it not be possible to create a stable representation within the test case for comparison purposes, without having to write the unstable result to a file and then parsing it?  That should be acceptable, given that creating and manipulating those graphs will probably also take significant time in the first place.
