Re: [igraph] Graphml Import / Export, keeping boolean values and using i

Dear Tamas,

I think I obtained it with this method.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:igraph/ppa

Then update your package database and install the python-igraph package:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-igraph


My computer:

Linux xxxx-MacBookPro 3.5.0-27-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Mon Mar 25 19:58:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Forgot to say that I am running Linux on a MacbookPro.

I know that I have python 3 as well on my computer, is it possible to add the igraph library to Python 3 and run it from there,
if so, I would try it there.

Best wishes and thanks,

Gabor

Hi,

So I tried to get as close to your setup as possible; I tried it on Ubuntu 12.10 with Python 2.7.3 and igraph 0.6.5 and it seemed to work just fine for me. Are you on a 64-bit platform? Have you compiled igraph yourself or did you use the official packages? If all else fails, I'll try to reproduce your issue in a virtual machine but I have to know exactly how you obtained igraph and its Python interface.

All the best,
Tamas

If your IDs *do* have some semantic meaning, just duplicate them as a vertex attribute and use the attribute instead.

The v_ prefix before the attribute names are required because theoretically you could have a graph where both the edges and the vertices have an attribute with the same name. To avoid such conflicts, igraph prefixes the identifiers of the vertex attributes with v_ and the identifiers of edge attributes with e_. Note, however, that this does *not* mean that the attribute itself is renamed since "key" is also just an internal reference within the GraphML file. The *name* of the attribute corresponding to a specific key is given by the attr.name attribute of the corresponding <key> tag in the GraphML file. E.g., in the example I listed above, the "test" attribute is declared like this in the GraphML file:
