Drawing multiple edges between two nodes with networkx

Question

I need to draw a directed graph with more than one edge (with different weights) between two nodes. That is, I have nodes A and B and edges (A,B) with length=2 and (B,A) wit

Answer 1

Try the following:

import networkx as nx
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
G = nx.DiGraph() #or G = nx.MultiDiGraph()
G.add_node('A')
G.add_node('B')
G.add_edge('A', 'B', length = 2)
G.add_edge('B', 'A', length = 3)

pos = nx.spring_layout(G)
nx.draw(G, pos)
edge_labels=dict([((u,v,),d['length'])
             for u,v,d in G.edges(data=True)])
nx.draw_networkx_edge_labels(G, pos, edge_labels=edge_labels, label_pos=0.3, font_size=7)
plt.show()

This will return you this graph with two edges and the length shown on the edge:
