introduction; use of NetworkX with Django

[Edward Vielmetti]

I was referred here from the SOCNET mailing list, good to see a
robust Python network modeling tool.

I'm wondering if anyone has interfaced NetworkX with the Django
framework - didn't see any of the discussion on the list archives,
but there might be more details that someone could share.

thanks

Are you thinking about interfaces that enable NetworkX to generate
content for Django pages, or interfaces that analyze Django web page
structure/design using NetworkX?

Dear ALL,

This would also be of much interest to me.

Dan -

I think I'm thinking of a system where NetworkX would manipulate
and analyze data that's stored in a Django model, as well as a
system where those results are subsequently displayed on pages
within Django.

The particular system I have in mind is this Google Transit Format
transit information browser

http://xca2.com/stuff/aata/browse/

currently populated with Ann Arbor Transportation Authority routes
that I had to extract with a FOIA request; some obvious transform
of some kind uses NetworkX to pull from this system, do network
analysis, and then redisplay within the system or store a new table
derived from the existing tables.

thanks

Ed

I don't know if anyone has done this yet but it is certainly possible
and might not be very hard.

Since the Django data models have a Python interface you should be
able to just query whatever data you like and stick that into a NetworkX
graph.

If you want to use the Matplotlib drawing part of NetworkX there is
an example of how to dynamically generate charts with Django at
http://scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Django
This could be adopted to use the NetworkX drawing functions instead
of "plot()".
