GrandCypher

pip install grand-cypher
# Note: You will want a version of grandiso>=2.2.0 for best performance!
# pip install -U 'grandiso>=2.2.0'

GrandCypher is a partial (and growing!) implementation of the Cypher graph query language written in Python, for Python data structures.

You likely already know Cypher from the Neo4j Graph Database. Use it with your favorite graph libraries in Python!

Usage

Example Usage with NetworkX:

from grandcypher import GrandCypher
import networkx as nx

GrandCypher(nx.karate_club_graph()).run("""
MATCH (A)-[]->(B)
MATCH (B)-[]->(C)
WHERE A.club == "Mr. Hi"
RETURN A.club, B.club
""")

See examples.md for more!

Example Usage with SQL

Create your own "Sqlite for Neo4j"! This example uses grand-graph to run queries in SQL:

import grand
from grandcypher import GrandCypher

G = grand.Graph(
    backend=grand.backends.SQLBackend(
        db_url="my_persisted_graph.db",
        directed=True
    )
)

# use the networkx-style API for the Grand library:
G.nx.add_node("A", foo="bar")
G.nx.add_edge("A", "B")
G.nx.add_edge("B", "C")
G.nx.add_edge("C", "A")

GrandCypher(G.nx).run("""
MATCH (A)-[]->(B)-[]->(C)
MATCH (C)-[]->(A)
WHERE
    A.foo == "bar"
RETURN
    A, B, C
""")
