Networkx specific nodes labeling

Question

I want to draw a network and I want it to be unlabeled with the exception for cretin nodes.

What I have at the moment is something like this:

nx.draw(G, pos=pos, node_color='b', node_size=8, with_labels=False)

for hub in hubs:
     nx.draw_networkx_nodes(G, pos, nodelist=[hub[0]], node_color='r')

The code at the moment changes the size and color of the nodes in the hubs list. I'd like to label them as well.

I tried to add the label argument and set its value to the hub name. but it did't work.

Thanks

From Bula's comment the solution is quite easy

The trick is to set the labels in a dictionary where the key is the node name and the value is the label you require. Therefore to label only the hubs, the code will be something similar to this:

labels = {}    
for node in G.nodes():
    if node in hubs:
        #set the node name as the key and the label as its value 
        labels[node] = node
#set the argument 'with labels' to False so you have unlabeled graph
nx.draw(G, with_labels=False)
#Now only add labels to the nodes you require (the hubs in my case)
nx.draw_networkx_labels(G,pos,labels,font_size=16,font_color='r')

I got what I wanted which is the following:

I hope this would help other python/networkx newbies like myself :)

Again, Thanks Bula
