How do i upload tinkergraph into python/gremlin?

Question

I am trying to use gremlin in python. I imported the following:

from gremlin_python.driver.driver_remote_connection import DriverRemoteConnection
from gremlin_python.structure.graph import Graph
from gremlin_python import statics
from gremlin_python.process.graph_traversal import __
from gremlin_python.process.strategies import *
from gremlin_python.process.traversal import *
import asyncio
statics.load_statics(globals())

When i run this:

graph = TinkerGraph.open() 
graph.io(graphml()).readGraph('air-routes.graphml')

i get the following error:

NameError: name 'TinkerGraph' is not defined

How do i resolve this?

There is no TinkerGraph in Python. In gremlin-python you only get a reference to a graph remotely on a server and that might be a TinkerGraph or something else. If you want to load data that way, you must issue that command as a script through a Client instance:

client = Client('ws://localhost:45940/gremlin', 'g')
client.submit("graph.io(graphml()).readGraph('air-routes.graphml');[]").all().result()

where "graph" in that script is a Graph instance that already exists on the server (and is likely empty). If you're using Gremlin Server, you might consider doing that loading separately as part of Gremlin Server startup as well and then just using gremlin-python to query that data. That would probably be best in this example as the data would just be present when the server is started.

Note that in 3.4.0, we introduce the io() step which will be part of gremlin-python directly at which point you will be able to directly do:

g.io('air-routes.xml').read()

in native python and it will just work (again, the Graph instance must be defined remotely) though the file must be readable by the server.

Here's my working example in the Python shell for submitting a script, first with the tornado error and then without:

when i run client = Client('ws://localhost:45940/gremlin', 'g') it says it needs 'Exception: Please install Tornado or passcustom transport factory'. i then did from gremlin_python.driver.tornado.transport import ( TornadoTransport) - but then i get the error: ImportError: cannot import name 'TracebackFuture' — Maths12, Dec 10 '18 at 15:22
i guess you need to install https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrent.futures.html#module-concurrent.futures — stephen mallette, Dec 10 '18 at 15:53
if by this you mean 'import concurrent.futures' then i already have it.. i still get same error. i already have tornado installed it's when i use this statment:'import tornado.web' i get an error. — Maths12, Dec 11 '18 at 10:17
can you please see my updated answer. perhaps give this simply try in your python shell and see if it works. note that i get the error you initially had with tornado, resolve it by installing tornado with pip and then it's good to go. perhaps you still have a dependency issue somewhere? — stephen mallette, Dec 11 '18 at 10:40
I came accross this over a year ago and already thought it is a very bad idea to have no proper python reachable API for this. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-2294 - I am downvoting since the answer is avoiding an improvement. — Wolfgang Fahl, Sep 18 '19 at 16:41
