python-igraph 0.11.6, the sixth bugfix release of the 0.11 series, has arrived. The primary reason for this release is to update the C core of igraph to 0.10.13, which brings a few bugfixes and also a few new functions to the Python interface. Please refer to the changelog for more details.

The preferred way of installing the Python interface is via pip; typing pip install igraph should install a pre-compiled Python wheel on most supported platforms (Windows, Linux and macOS). The pre-compiled wheels and the source code are also available from the Python Package Index page.

Read on for more details about the changes in version 0.11.6.

Added

• Added Graph.Hypercube() for creating n-dimensional hypercube graphs.
• Added Graph.Chung_Lu() for sampling from the Chung-Lu model as well as several related models.
• Added Graph.is_complete() to test if there is a connection between all distinct pairs of vertices.
• Added Graph.is_clique() to test if a set of vertices forms a clique.
• Added Graph.is_independent_vertex_set() to test if some vertices form an independent set.
• Added Graph.mean_degree() for a convenient way to compute the average degree of a graph.

Changed

• The C core of igraph was updated to version 0.10.13.
• Graph.rewire() now attempts to perform edge swaps 10 times the number of edges by default.
• Error messages issued when an attribute is not found now mention the name and type of that attribute.
