Hi Zhiyu, I have the same impression of BGL-Python. However, there is graph-tool ( http://projects.skewed.de/graph-tool/) which exposes an interface to BGL. I have barely started using it so I don't know how good it is. William. On Wed, Jun 19, 2013 at 4:01 AM, lizy10b wrote:

So it means the BGL-Python Binding project is not on going? Is the BGL-Python Bindings 0.9 compatible to Boost 1.53 ? Or any other ways to use Boost graph functionalities in python?

Thanks

Hi William, Thanks for recommending the graph-tool project -- an alternative to BGL-python. But embarrassing to say I am a ms windows user, and it seems the graph-tool is for unix/linux/mac. I found some threads on installing graph-tool on windows using MinGW, but maybe it is a tough task for me. And I am concerning about whether I could intergrate it into my existing windows python project. Thanks.

Hi John, Thanks for your reply. I would like to use the latest BGL-python against the boost 1.53, better wilth PBGL python binding enabled. And I have compiled the boost 1.53 in the following environment : Windows 7 x64, Python 2.66 x86, MPICH2 1.32 x86, VS2010 SP1 So my first question is how could I get the latest BGL-python from svn (https://svn.osl.iu.edu/svn/projects_viz/bgl-python)? It prompts that I need a username and a password to check it out (I am using the TortoiseSVN). Thanks.

I don't think there are any plans to develop the BGL python bindings any further. However they are usable in their current state. I would recommend using the (slightly newer) svn version (https://svn.osl.iu.edu/svn/projects_viz/bgl-python) rather than 0.9 as it has an improved property map mechanism (http://www.langreiter.com/space/bgl-python-notes). If you do use them and have any trouble compiling them just ask here. I wonder if they should not be added to boost.python as an example. Cheers, John.
