Hello, I recently picked up SageMath to perform digraph computations regarding a research interest. I'm running into a strange issue regarding a function that should exist, judging by the documentation (link at the bottom of this post), but apparently does not. If I attempt to run a small test copied directly from said documentation:

gen = graphs.nauty_geng("-c 3")
dgs = list(digraphs.nauty_directg(gen))

the program fails to compile and yields

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-29-ae6a73f0fd49> in <module>()
      1 gen = graphs.nauty_geng("-c 3")
----> 2 dgs = list(digraphs.nauty_directg(gen))

/opt/sagemath-8.6/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/sage/misc/lazy_import.pyx in sage.misc.lazy_import.LazyImport.__getattr__ (build/cythonized/sage/misc/lazy_import.c:3536)()
    320             True
    321         """
--> 322         return getattr(self.get_object(), attr)
    323 
    324     # We need to wrap all the slot methods, as they are not forwarded

AttributeError: DiGraphGenerators instance has no attribute 'nauty_directg'

Could anyone tell me whether I'm I making a horrible rookie mistake, or is this functionality is simply missing from SageMath 8.6? Or is there something else at play?

Thanks, Pepijn

Thanks for reporting.

Fixing this issue is now tracked at Sage Trac ticket 27686.

To work around the issue for now, use:

sage: gen = graphs.nauty_geng("-c 3")
sage: dgs = list(sage.graphs.digraph_generators.digraphs.nauty_directg(gen))

Thanks for your answer.

I have tried running the proposed workaround in a SageMath 8.6 Notebook (on a Windows machine), but it still not compiling, with pretty much the same message as before:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-3-1fca0f327f4f> in <module>()
      1 gen = graphs.nauty_geng("-c 3")
----> 2 dgs = list(sage.graphs.digraph_generators.digraphs.nauty_directg(gen))

AttributeError: DiGraphGenerators instance has no attribute 'nauty_directg'

On another note, the example provided before does run properly in a CoCalc worksheet, which (as far as I can tell) is running Sage 8.7.

Indeed. It was added in Sage Trac ticket #27231, which was merged in SageMath 8.7.beta4.

To figure out when it was added, I looked at the history of the file at

The commit that introduced it had the ticket number as part of the commit message. Then searching sage-release for this ticket number revealed the SageMath 8.7.beta4 announcement.
