rustworkx.PyDiGraph.write_edge_list#

PyDiGraph.write_edge_list(path, /, deliminator=None, weight_fn=None)#

Write an edge list file from the PyDiGraph object

Parameters:
  • path (str) – The path to write the output file to

  • deliminator (str) – The optional character to use as a deliminator if not specified " " is used.

  • weight_fn (callable) –

    An optional callback function that will be

    passed an edge’s data payload/weight object and is expected to return a string (a TypeError will be raised if it doesn’t return a string). If specified the weight in the output file for each edge will be set to the returned string.

    For example:

    import os
    import tempfile
    
    import rustworkx as rx
    
    graph = rx.generators.directed_path_graph(5)
    path = os.path.join(tempfile.gettempdir(), "edge_list")
    graph.write_edge_list(path, deliminator=',')
    # Print file contents
    with open(path, 'rt') as edge_file:
        print(edge_file.read())
