Py2neo-在writebatch中创建关系

Question

I use py2neo to dump data in a Neo4j database.

With this

batch = neo4j.WriteBatch(graph_db)
batch.create(node(name="Alice"))
batch.create(node(name="Bob"))
batch.create(rel(0, "KNOWS", 1))
results = batch.submit()

I can create relationships using new nodes within the same batch.

However, if i try to create a relationship with a node that has already been created before the batch like this :

n = graph_db.create({"name": "Smith"})
batch = neo4j.WriteBatch(graph_db)
batch.create(node(name="Alice"))
batch.create(rel(0, "KNOWS", n))
results = batch.submit()

It fails*. How would one proceed to create nodes with relationships within a batch to nodes previously created?

Using py2neo 1.5.1 and Neo4j 1.9.2

Thanks

In your code example, n will actually contain a list of nodes, not a single node (see the warning on the create method). So, instead of...

n = graph_db.create({"name": "Smith"})

...you probably want...

n, = graph_db.create({"name": "Smith"})
