I recently started using igraph and find the process of orienting myself to the package a little slow due to the lack of example code. A number of my collaborators had similar experiences. The tutorial is certainly a good starting place and I've found a few other sources of example code. There is a lot of example code in R from the SAND textbook, however, not as many (that I can find) in Python.
I find that small worked out examples (that display results of the code) are the best way to learn a new package. For example check out the examples of how to do basic tasks with pandas on Chris Albon's website. These were far more helpful for learning how to use pandas than the pandas documentation.
igraph is a wonderful package and deserves example python code that lowers the barrier to entry for new users.
Does anyone know of a good source of example code that I'm missing? If so these should be linked to on the website. Otherwise it might be worth creating a bunch of examples and posting them to the website.
