The easiest way to plot an eye diagram would be to create a new eye
diagram sink.  The plot widget that we're using behind the scenes is
pretty straight forward to use.  I'd suggest taking a look at
gr-wxgui/src/python/scopesink.py as a starting point.  It's got a
bunch of extra GUI knobs that you might not need.  Take a look at the
format_data function.  That's where the actual lines to be drawn are
created.

The plot widget has decent inline docs.  See gr-wxgui/src/python/plot.py.
