Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

networkit

✓ import networkit as nk

✗ import NetworKit

The module name is all lowercase 'networkit'.

graph

✓ from networkit import graph

✗ import networkit.graph

graph is a submodule, not a top-level attribute.

Basic usage: create a graph, add edges, run a BFS.

import networkit as nk # Create a graph G = nk.Graph(5) G.addEdge(0, 1) G.addEdge(1, 2) G.addEdge(2, 3) G.addEdge(3, 4) # Run BFS bfs = nk.distance.BFS(G, 0) bfs.run() print(bfs.distances())

networkit --version

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn version 10.0, the module structure was reorganized. Submodules like 'graph' and 'distance' must be imported explicitly (e.g., 'from networkit import graph') instead of 'import networkit.graph'.

fix

Use 'from networkit import <submodule>' instead of 'import networkit.<submodule>'.

affects: >=10.0

breakingStarting with version 9.0, Python 3.6 and 3.7 are no longer supported. Requires Python >=3.8 (now >=3.10 as of 11.0).

fix

Ensure Python version >=3.10.

affects: >=9.0

deprecatedThe old 'NetworKit' C++ naming is deprecated in Python. Do not use 'from NetworKit import Graph'.

fix

Use 'import networkit as nk' and 'nk.Graph'.

affects: all

gotchaGraph edges are directed by default? Actually, Graph is undirected by default. Use Graph(0, directed=True) for directed graphs.

fix

Specify directed=True when creating a directed graph.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'networkit'

NetworKit not installed or installed in wrong environment.

fix

Run 'pip install networkit'. Ensure you are using the correct Python environment.

AttributeError: module 'networkit' has no attribute 'graph'

Trying to access submodule directly without importing it.

fix

Use 'from networkit import graph' or 'import networkit.graph' (though the latter may still fail in some versions). Preferred: 'from networkit import graph'.

ImportError: cannot import name 'BFS' from 'networkit'

BFS is not a top-level attribute; it's in the 'distance' submodule.

fix

Use 'from networkit.distance import BFS'.
