networkx.readwrite.adjlist.write_adjlist¶

write_adjlist(G, path, comments='#', delimiter=' ', encoding='utf-8')[source]¶

Write graph G in single-line adjacency-list format to path.

Parameters

G (NetworkX graph)
path (string or file) – Filename or file handle for data output. Filenames ending in .gz or .bz2 will be compressed.
comments (string, optional) – Marker for comment lines
delimiter (string, optional) – Separator for node labels
encoding (string, optional) – Text encoding.

Examples

>>> G = nx.path_graph(4)
>>> nx.write_adjlist(G, "test.adjlist")

The path can be a filehandle or a string with the name of the file. If a filehandle is provided, it has to be opened in ‘wb’ mode.

>>> fh = open("test.adjlist", "wb")
>>> nx.write_adjlist(G, fh)

Notes

This format does not store graph, node, or edge data.
