Document/Clarify Removal of GraphTraversal Functionality

[cmutel]

However, in the latest dev version, there is a bw2calc/graph_traversal.py file

You posted a link to 2.0.dev12 - the latest dev release is 2.0.dev16 :)

[michaelweinold]

...oh - it seems that GH can't sort tags properly:

But in any case, the file is also present in the dev16 version.

[cmutel]

You're right, sorry about that. The DEV16 release was on October 22, and the graph traversal was removed on October 26.

Brightway2 is pinned to bw2calc < 2.0.

On the current version of Brightway25 (dev), how should one use the GraphTraversal class? Call it from bw2calc? What is the role of bw_graph_tools in this case?

One should only use bw_graph_tools, this is strictly better in every way than the old graph traversal class.

Ok, thank you for the clarification. Can I therefore:

• remove the bw2calc/graph_traversal.py file from the latest dev version
• and make a corresponding changelog entry

?

[cmutel]

Changelog update in 1dd1132. But the main branch isn't ready for a release yet (yes, yes, this should have been a feature branch and not merged to main...).

So I think for now you will just need to manually use bw_graph_utils instead.

[michaelweinold]

Fine, we'll keep this open until then. Thank you!
I will update the documentation of the bw_graph_tools package in the coming weeks, as I go through the code in detail.
