Just a personal point of view: I usually end up implementing custom graphs or trees because it is rather simple [*] and because of the variety of structures and features. (Maybe that's why there are no general purpose node/tree/graph libs, only highly specialised one, as for XML parsing.) If you take this route and need help or advice on given points or features, we can probably be of some use. Denis [*] compared the overall app: if a graph is complex, then the app it is a component of is even more complex ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

This may be a bit advanced for the "tutor" list, which is more aimed at learning the syntax and standard library. If nobody responds with an answer here, you might like to try asking on comp.lang.python, also available by email python-l...@python.org. -- Steven ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
[Tutor] Multi Layered Graphs
I'm working on a project which involves network graphs. Is there a library that can help me do this: I want to create multi-layered graphs i.e. graphs which contain a set number of vertices but multiple 'layers' of edges i.e. same set of vertices representing two or more properties in the same data structure. One rather hacky solution can be to form a complete graph in igraph and deal with the layers as if they were igraph edge attributes, though when dealing with tens of thousands of vertices on a complete graph it will be inefficient. Any clue if something proper exists? If not, any more intelligent solutions using existing libraries such as igraph/networkx? ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
