Exercise

Reading graphs

In this exercise, before you compute projections, you're going to practice working with one of NetworkX's disk I/O functions, read_edgelist(). read_edgelist() creates a graph from the edgelist file. The graph that you'll be working with is a bipartite graph describing the American Revolution. There are two node partitions - 'people' and 'clubs', and edges denote a person being a member of a club.

Instructions

100 XP

Import networkx as nx.
Use nx.read_edgelist() to read in 'american-revolution.edgelist'.
In the dataset, 'clubs' do not have a . symbol in their node name. Use this information to assign nodes to 'clubs' or 'people' partitions. Remember the 'bipartite' keyword!
Print the edges of the graph.
