Answer 1

I found this question while looking for the answer myself. I picked Gephi as my visualizer and then wanted to build a graph that was well supported by the tool by pulling data from around my org with Python.

I found GephiStreamer and it looks a simple yet comprehensive way to build graphs in Gephi from an external python environment (command line, or IDE)

The other options at this point are:

• The Gephi Python Scripting Console
• Any Graph Lib that can export in a Gephi readable format
  • NetworkX
  • python-igraph
  • graph-tool
• Any of the python GEFX writers (Google "python GEFX")
