Announcement: NetworkX 2.6¶
We’re happy to announce the release of NetworkX 2.6! 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 and our gallery of examples. Please send comments and questions to the networkx-discuss mailing list.
Highlights¶
This release is the result of X of work with over X pull requests by X contributors. Highlights include:
Dropped support for Python 3.6.
NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, and pandas are now default requirements.
Improvements¶
API Changes¶
[#4190] Removed
tracemin_chol
. Usetracemin_lu
instead.[#4216] In
to_*_array/matrix
, nodes in nodelist but not in G now raise an exception. Use G.add_nodes_from(nodelist) to add them to G before converting.[#4360] Internally
nx_pylab.draw_networkx_edges
now always generates a list ofmatplotlib.patches.FancyArrowPatch
rather than using amatplotlib.collections.LineCollection
for un-directed graphs. This unifies interface for all types of graphs. In addition to the API change this may cause a performance regression for large graphs.[#4384] Added edge_key parameter for MultiGraphs in to_pandas_edgelist
[#4466]
relabel_nodes
used to raise a KeyError for a key inmapping
that is not a node in the graph, but it only did this whencopy
wasFalse
. Now any keys inmapping
which are not in the graph are ignored.[#4573]
label_propagation_communities
returns adict_values
object of community sets of nodes instead of a generator of community sets. It is still iterable, so likely will still work in most user code and a simple fix otherwise: e.g., additer( ... )
surrounding the function call.[#4545]
prefix_tree
used to returntree, root
but root is now always 0 instead of a UUID generate string. So the function returnstree
.[#4545] The variable
NIL
=”NIL” has been removed fromnetworkx.generators.trees
[#3620] The function
naive_greedy_modularity_communities
now returns a list of communities (likegreedy_modularity_communities
) instead of a generator of communities.
Deprecations¶
[#4238] Deprecate
to_numpy_matrix
andfrom_numpy_matrix
.[#4279] Deprecate
networkx.utils.misc.is_iterator
. Useisinstance(obj, collections.abc.Iterator)
instead.[#4280] Deprecate
networkx.utils.misc.is_list_of_ints
as it is no longer used. Seenetworkx.utils.misc.make_list_of_ints
for related functionality.[#4281] Deprecate
read_yaml
andwrite_yaml
.[#4282] Deprecate
