PyGMLParser is a Graph Modeling Language (GML) standalone parser for Python 3.

It is a fork of: icasdri/gml.py

---

Get it from PyPi by doing:

pip3 install PyGMLParser

Uses Travis CI for continuous integration.

The class documentation is here

---

The specific updates are:

• Updated to Python 3
• Use f-strings
• Separate files for each class
• Use packages instead of single file
• Updated GML format from Tulip .gml files to include the following keywords keyword used by the Python Tulip gml exporter ('GML Export')
  • graphics
  • Line
  • point
• Use dataclasses for graphics and points
• Use type hinting and custom typing for readability and maintainability
• Use Python logging for debugging
• Introduced a set of small unit tests
