graph-theory 2020.8.14.60559

A graph library

graph-theory

A simple graph library...
... A bit like networkx, just without the overhead...
... similar to graph-tool, without the Python 2.7 legacy...
... with code that you can explain to your boss...

FAQ

want to...	doesn't work...	do instead...	...but why?
have multiple edges between two nodes	Graph(from_list=[(1,2,3), (1,2,4)]	Add dummy nodes [(1,a,3), (a,2,0), (1,b,4),(b,2,0)]	Explicit is better than implicit.
multiple values on an edge	g.add_edge(1,2,{'a':3, 'b':4})	Have two graphs g_a.add_edge(1,2,3) g_b.add_edge(1,2,4)	Most graph algorithms don't work with multiple values
