NetworkX 2.3

Release date: 11 April 2019

Supports Python 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7. This is our first Python 3 only release.

We're happy to announce the release of NetworkX 2.3! NetworkX is a Python package for the creation, manipulation, and study of the structure, dynamics, and functions of complex networks.

For more information, please visit our website <https://networkx.org/>_ and our gallery of examples <https://networkx.org/documentation/latest/auto_examples/index.html>. Please send comments and questions to the networkx-discuss mailing list <http://groups.google.com/group/networkx-discuss>.

Highlights

This release is the result of 6 months of work with over 92 pull requests by 30 contributors. Highlights include:

  • Dropped support for Python 2. We are no longer supporting Python 2.7 and we will start changing code to take advantage of Python 3 features we couldn't before.
  • Added some Moral Graph analysis functions.
  • Enable matplotlib drawing using curved arrows via connectionstyle parameter.
  • Remove ticks and axes labels from matplotlib plots.
  • Two new generators of Harary Graphs.
  • Added Dual Barabasi-Albert model
  • Added VoteRank algorithm
  • Added Equitable coloring algorithms
  • Added planar layout algorithms
  • Les Miserables network example
  • JavaScript example update

Improvements

  • Change default colors to be color-blind friendly
  • Many bug fixes and documentation improvements
  • Speed up of simple_cycles
  • Improvements for reading various formats like GML, GEXF, Graphml
  • Allow subclassing to access node_attr_dict_factory

API Changes

  • The G.fresh_copy() mechanism for creating an empty_graph of the same type (introduced in v2.0) does not playing nicely with pickle and others. So, we have removed the code that caused a need for that. Instead you should use the more natural G.class() syntax to get an empty_graph of the same type as G.

Deprecations

  • The Graph.fresh_copy() method should now use Graph.class()
  • ReverseView class removed in favor of reverse_view() function.
