Stuck on an issue?

Lightrun Answers was designed to reduce the constant googling that comes with debugging 3rd party libraries. It collects links to all the places you might be looking at while hunting down a tough bug.

And, if you’re still stuck at the end, we’re happy to hop on a call to see how we can help out.

Network.py by User not Tweet Label

See original GitHub issue

Me again. Another pie-in-the-sky request. Right now, the GEXF file outputs like this:

      <node id="822960026289635328" label="822960026289635328">
        <attvalues>
          <attvalue for="1" value="DarbyEsquire" />
        </attvalues>
      </node>

So when mapped, it’s really looking at the relationship between tweets. While some hard core data wrangling could map by user, that’s difficult. If you did want people to be able to see central users, etc. (you may not), allowing an option to make the node ID the screen_name of the user rather than the tweet ID might help?

Accordingly, the edge output would then be:

      <edge id="1549792" source="823050483678019584" target="823030321276977152" type="quote" />
      <edge id="1549793" source="823607709589270533" target="822852245532319744" type="quote" />

with the source/target replaced by usernames.

Hi @edsu – yep that was the idea. Much more succinctly put. I will give it a try!

Hah yeah, so many lines of communication. 😄 Yes in theory working on another book, although with so many things on the go my big goal is to prune things down for next Fall – so I can do more fun experimenting too! You’re in Toronto for AERI this summer right?
