Assign edge weights to a networkx graph using pandas dataframe

Let's try:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import networkx as nx
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

df = pd.DataFrame({'number':['123','234','345'],'contactnumber':['234','345','123'],'callduration':[1,2,4]})

df

G = nx.from_pandas_edgelist(df,'number','contactnumber', edge_attr='callduration')
durations = [i['callduration'] for i in dict(G.edges).values()]
labels = [i for i in dict(G.nodes).keys()]
labels = {i:i for i in dict(G.nodes).keys()}

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12,5))
pos = nx.spring_layout(G)
nx.draw_networkx_nodes(G, pos, ax = ax, labels=True)
nx.draw_networkx_edges(G, pos, width=durations, ax=ax)
_ = nx.draw_networkx_labels(G, pos, labels, ax=ax)

Output:

Do not agree with what has been said. In the calcul of different metrics that takes into account the weight of each edges like the pagerank or the betweeness centrality your weight would not be taking into account if is store as an edge attributes. Use graph.

Add_edges(source, target, weight, *attrs)
