yep i am interested..... Currently as am on between jobs can devote most of my time over the next 2 months.. but then am not sure.. I have been happy using python-graph.........but recently have grown tired of the number of implementations (not in small part owing to this thread)... A crucial element in this hypothetical module would be the main graph data structure. The simplest approach would be to implement it in pure python, with lists, dicts and such, as many libraries do. However, this would rule out its use by high-performance code, which would need a simpler C-based data structure for direct interaction. On the other hand, I'm not sure if there is a need for a high performance graph module in python's standard library... I disagree...I am not sure of the current need in terms of a precise survey.....But IMO, as bearophile pointed out.....networkx is the most popular........and from their claims it is targeted at mathematicians, physicists, biologists, computer scientists, social scientists. Given the current trend in the growth of social and professional networks..... and social scientists (Disclaimer: i aspire to be one).. i do expect a growing demand for graph data structures and high performance ones soon enough.. so IMHO if we are going in for it we should go for the high performance graphs too.. ============================================== Anand J http://sites.google.com/a/cbcs.ac.in/students/anand ============================================== The man who is really serious, with the urge to find out what truth is, has no style at all.
