get_edge_data¶

DiGraph.get_edge_data(u, v, default=None)¶

Return the attribute dictionary associated with edge (u,v).

Parameters :	u,v : nodes default: any Python object (default=None) Value to return if the edge (u,v) is not found.
Returns :	edge_dict : dictionary The edge attribute dictionary.

Notes

It is faster to use G[u][v].

>>> G = nx.Graph()   # or DiGraph, MultiGraph, MultiDiGraph, etc
>>> G.add_path([0,1,2,3])
>>> G[0][1]
{}

Warning: Assigning G[u][v] corrupts the graph data structure. But it is safe to assign attributes to that dictionary,

>>> G[0][1]['weight'] = 7
>>> G[0][1]['weight']
7
>>> G[1][0]['weight']
7

Examples

>>> G = nx.Graph()   # or DiGraph, MultiGraph, MultiDiGraph, etc
>>> G.add_path([0,1,2,3])
>>> G.get_edge_data(0,1) # default edge data is {}
{}
>>> e = (0,1)
>>> G.get_edge_data(*e) # tuple form
{}
>>> G.get_edge_data('a','b',default=0) # edge not in graph, return 0
