Examples

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> import tempfile
>>> tmp_path = Path(tempfile.gettempdir())
>>> fpath = tmp_path / "test.net"
>>> nx.write_pajek(nx.path_graph(4), fpath)
>>> G = nx.read_pajek(fpath)
>>> G.edges
MultiEdgeView([('0', '1', 0), ('1', '2', 0), ('2', '3', 0)])

To create a Graph instead of a MultiGraph use

>>> G1 = nx.Graph(G)
>>> G1.edges
EdgeView([('0', '1'), ('1', '2'), ('2', '3')])
