NetworkX Test Failure

Question

I installed NetworkX via conda on pyzo4.4.1. The python version I use is 3.6.1

conda install networkx
conda update networkx

As it is suggested in the installation guide of NetworkX, I also installed nose for testing and ran the full test with the following command:

import networkx as nx
nx.test()

To my surprise, it yielded 57 failed tests. Here is a link to the complete log . Here's a short summary:

Failure:
test_kcomponents.test_example_1_detail_3_and_4
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Approximate current-flow betweenness centrality: K4
 # in total there are 9 other failed tests concerning betweenness centrality
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
test_hits.TestHITS.test_hits
 # 4 of these
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
test_pagerank.TestPageRank.test_dangling_pagerank
 # 12 of these
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
test_branchings.test_greedy_max1
  # 4 of these
...

I tried removing the networkx and decorator and reinstalling it via conda. I then removed it yet again and installed via pip, still it does not work. I need some of the functions that are failing the tests (for example betweenness). Help would be greatly appreciated.

The current release of networkx does not support Python 3.6. We will release networkx 2.0 soon and this will no longer be an issue. The 2.0 release changes quite a few things, which is why it has taken longer to finalize than previous releases. Thanks for your patience.

You can follow 2.0 development here:

https://github.com/networkx/networkx/milestone/3

and read a draft of the release notes here:

http://networkx.readthedocs.io/en/latest/news.html

You can install the current master branch using:

$ pip install git+http://github.com/networkx/networkx

The master branch should be in good shape and we would love additional feedback on it as we finalize the 2.0 release.
