Highlights#

Minor documentation and bug fixes.

Improvements#

  • Changed the treatment of directed graphs for has_eulerian_path which used to allow graphs with isolated nodes, i.e. nodes with zero degree to have an eulerian path. For undirected graphs, on the other hand, has_eulerian_path does not allow isolated nodes. For example:

    >>> G = nx.DiGraph([(0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 0)])
>>> G.add_node(3)
>>> nx.has_eulerian_path(G)

    The above snippet used to produce True whereas the below one used to produce False.

    >>> G = nx.Graph([(0, 1), (1, 2), (2, 0)])
>>> G.add_node(3)
>>> nx.has_eulerian_path(G)

    The change makes the method consistent for both undirected and directed graph types so that it does not allow isolated nodes. (Both examples produce False now.)

  • is_bipartite_node_set now raises an exception when the tested nodes are not distinct (previously this would not affect the outcome). This is to avoid surprising behaviour when using node sets in other bipartite algorithms, for example it yields incorrect results for weighted_projected_graph.
