AttributeError: module 'networkx.algorithms.community' has no attribute 'girvan_newman'

Question

I am trying to use networkx to do community analysis.

The error I am getting is module 'networkx.algorithms.community' has no attribute 'girvan_newman'. My python version is 3.6, with networkx version 2.0.

Here is my code:

import networkx as nx
from networkx.algorithms import community
G = nx.barbell_graph(5, 1)
communities_generator = community.girvan_newman(G)
top_level_communities = next(communities_generator)
next_level_communities = next(communities_generator)
sorted(map(sorted, next_level_communities))

Answer 1

This worked for me

from networkx.algorithms.community.centrality import girvan_newman
communities_generator = community.centrality.girvan_newman(G)

EDIT: by importing community.centrality.girvan_newman(G) instead of community.girvan_newman(G) is the key here

Answer 2

Upgrade your networkx:

pip install --upgrade networkx

Answer 3

The function you're looking for is in a slightly different namespace from what you have. You'll need to import it as follows:

from networkx.algorithms.community.centrality import girvan_newman

Note the centrality part of the namespace that was missing.
