Take this MWE that is to be run in sage:

import networkx as nx
G = nx.DiGraph()                                                          
G.add_edge(0,1)                                                           
G.nodes[0]['weight'] = 23                                                 
nx.write_gml(G, "test.gml")

This gives me a long list of errors ending with:

NetworkXError: 0 is not a string

The same code works without error in Python.

What can I do?

The problem comes from the fact that 0,1,23 are preparsedas Sage Integers, not Python ints, see https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/refe...

To work around the issue, you can either:

replace 0,1,23 with 0r,1r,23r (the letter r stands for "raw")
turn the preparser off, with the command preparser(False)

We have long term open tickets for simplifying loading/saving graphs from/to files in various formats (#9731, #19477), possibly without using relying on networkx. We should work on these tickets.
