Hey,
If you can predict what Python libraries you will depend on, then use
Python 3 if those libraries are already ported to it.
If not, then use Python 2. Python 2.7 is the current (and almost
certainly the last ever) 2.x version.
GraphVis is good for visualising graphs. It produces diagrams like this:

There are several Python bindings or wrappers for GraphViz, four are
listed here:

Best of luck,
Jonathan

Hi Sebastian,
As far as I am aware the Python 3.x series is where the development of
the language is going, The devs specifically broke backwards
compatibility in order to tidy up the language. What this means is
that there are loads of Python libraries that will not work with it or
have not been ported to it.
I would recommend trying Python 2.6 along with the corresponding
Pygame release for that version. As it just works and is fairly simple
to learn.

Good evening everyone,
I am a newcomer to Python and I am using it for my dissertation
(not a PhD, just a Bachelor! :)) project.
I've reached the point where I need to create a few very basic
undirected graphs. I spent the last hour or so searching online
but have so far failed to find a library that works with Python 3.
NetworkX (http://networkx.lanl.gov/index.html) looked great and is
quite popular from what I've gathered but its drawing module is
not Python 3 compatible. Which is a pity because all I wanted is
some very very basic graphs. All the other libraries I've found so
far either don't support drawing or are extremely complex for my
needs.
Now, maybe the solution is to use Python 2.6 instead. Before
starting working on my project I knew nothing about Python, which
is one of the reasons I chose it over, say, Java, and thought that
the 3rd version is the way to go. Is it not?
Thank you very much for your time in advance,
