It provides graph data structures (directed and undirected) and a suite of graph algorithms including shortest-path calculations, traversals, and other network operations. The package is designed for performance and is suitable for applications ranging from quantum computing transpilers to general network analysis.\n\nThe package has been retired in favor of rustworkx, which is described as a drop-in replacement. Users installing retworkx will actually get rustworkx as its runtime dependency. The library supports Python 3.9 through 3.13 and offers optional visualization modules via matplotlib or graphviz when those dependencies are installed separately.","worth_installing":"No\u2014retworkx is deprecated and retired. Install rustworkx instead, which is the active successor and is described as a drop-in replacement. The fact sheet itself recommends rustworkx over retworkx. If you are already using retworkx, migration to rustworkx is the appropriate path forward."},"id":"retworkx","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/retworkx","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/retworkx.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/retworkx/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-09-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"retworkx","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A High-Performance Graph Library for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":98881,"position":13053,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.17.1"}
