rustworkx is a high-performance, general-purpose graph library for Python implemented in Rust with PyO3 bindings. It provides graph classes (PyGraph, PyDAG) and algorithms like shortest paths, centrality, and topological operations as a fast NetworkX alternative.
Use cases
- compute shortest paths in large graphs from Python
- build and analyze directed acyclic graphs for task scheduling
- find a fast NetworkX replacement for graph algorithms
- calculate betweenness centrality on big networks
- perform topological sorts on dependency DAGs
- work with weighted and unweighted graphs in Python
When to choose
- you need graph algorithms in Python with much better performance than NetworkX
- you work with DAGs, e.g. for quantum circuit or pipeline scheduling
- you want a mature, well-documented library with prebuilt wheels
When to avoid
- you need pure-Python extensibility or NetworkX's broader ecosystem of graph file formats
- your graphs are tiny and performance is irrelevant
- you need graph visualization built in
