#4860 was messed up
The networkx-0.99.p0.spkg currently in Sage contains both networkx 0.36
(what we use) and networkx 0.99. When installed, only the old version
is installed. This has two negatives:
(1) it wastes disk space
(2) it confuses users, e.g., it made me feel like an idiot when I posted
to the networkx-discuss mailing list about all their examples being
broken. I carefully checked Sage had networkx 0.99 by looking in
spkg/standard, only to be fooled.
Possible fixes:
1. Just revert to the previous networkx spkg. This will not solve the
problem I ran into though, since sage -upgrade won't downgrade.
2. Make a new networkx spkg called networkx-0.99.p1-fake_really-0.36 and
delete src/networkx-0.99 from it.
I've posted an spkg that does 2:
