If wha'ts most alive is pydot-ng that's fine with me.

One of the reasons taskflow went with pydotplus is that it's used in the larger networkx graph library (which taskflow happens to use for its internal workflow graph):

https://github.com/networkx/networkx/blob/master/networkx/drawing/nx_pydot.py

Which if u see in the taskflow code is just what's being called into:

https://github.com/openstack/taskflow/blob/master/taskflow/types/graph.py#L59

But if pydot-ng is more 'healthy' I'm fine with adjusting a few things and using that (and submitting a PR to networkx to get them to use pydot-ng).

If fuel used networkx @ https://github.com/networkx/networkx that'd be even better (in general if anyone is using graphs in there app, networkx seems to be the best library for that kind of stuff that currently exists) ;)

Hi Thomas,

If I'm not mistaken, pydot-ng [1] has been made by ex-fueler in order
to overcome some limitations of pydot ( and do not change much. If
pydotplus is alive project and do the same thing, I vote for using it
in Fuel.

Thanks,
Igor

Hi,

Fuel uses pydot-ng, and (at least) taskflow uses pydotplus. I believe
both aren't using pydot because that's dead upstream.

Could we have a bit of consistency here, and have one or the other
component to switch, so we could get rid of one more package that does
the same thing in downstream distros?

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
