The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

- Apple M1arm Vs X86 Amd Lets Put Things Into
I'll check myself in January. I'll get a Macbook Air, and compare it with the 4700U that I also have. I'll compile a graph processing library like python-igraph, feed it a shit ton of data, and launch several processes, to test.

If you are interested in the subject, also take a look at NetworkDisk[1] which enable users of NetworkX[2] which maps graphs to databases.

- Build the dependency graph of your BigQuery pipelines at no cost: a Python implementation
In the project we used Python lib networkx and a DiGraph object (Direct Graph). To detect a table reference in a Query, we use sqlglot, a SQL parser (among other things) that works well with Bigquery.
- NetworkX – Network Analysis in Python
- Custom libraries and utility tools for challenges
If you program in Python, can use NetworkX for that. But it's probably a good idea to implement the basic algorithms yourself at least one time.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing python-igraph and NetworkX you can also consider the following projects:
networkit - NetworKit is a growing open-source toolkit for large-scale network analysis.
Numba - NumPy aware dynamic Python compiler using LLVM
graphblas-algorithms - Graph algorithms written in GraphBLAS
RDKit - The official sources for the RDKit library
curvipy - Make math animations in a few lines of code.
Dask - Parallel computing with task scheduling
