Examples

>>> lines = ["1 2 5", "2 3 4", "3 5", "4", "5"]
>>> G = nx.parse_adjlist(lines, nodetype=int)
>>> nodes = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> all(node in G for node in nodes)
True
>>> edges = [(1, 2), (1, 5), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 5)]
>>> all((u, v) in G.edges() or (v, u) in G.edges() for (u, v) in edges)
True
