python Networkx VS c++ boost graph

[Don Mohsenuss]

Hi every one, I'm working on my final year project, it's about graph mining, so I need graph data structure and the program to be fast, so I want to know who is faster, Networkx or Boost ?

[Aric Hagberg]

That might depend on whether you mean faster to write and debug or
faster to run :-)
Good luck with your project.

I mean running time.

Those two packages are likely very different in running time.
NetworkX is Python and Boost is C++. Typically you'll get faster
running code using a compiled language like C++. The only way to
know the real timing difference is to try both.

So, graph-tool is more speed and complete than Netwokx ?

[Aric Hagberg]

Hi Don,

Boost and graph-tool are both great - you should try them yourself and
find out what works best for you! Asking on a software package
mailing list which package is better is not very useful since that
depends on many factors.

Actually I can't code with C++ so I think graph-tool will be better for me.

Install VirtualBox and open a Linux virtual machine.

I am only half joking, you can theoretically install it on Windows,
but you need to set up a compiler and all the requirements, that is a
pain. Gohlke lists it as interesting but unavailable, which probably
means he hasn't been able to compile it, and he is quite good at it.

What about Boost Python library?
