spqrtree
Description
spqrtree is a pure Python implementation of the SPQR-tree data
structure for biconnected graphs. It decomposes a biconnected graph
into its triconnected components (S, P, Q, and R nodes) and organizes
them as a tree.
SPQR-trees are a classical tool in graph theory, widely used for
planarity testing, graph drawing, and network analysis.
The implementation is based on the Gutwenger & Mutzel (2001) linear-time
algorithm, with corrections to Hopcroft & Tarjan (1973), and follows the
SPQR-tree data structure defined by Di Battista & Tamassia (1996).
Features:
- Pure Python --- no compiled extensions or external dependencies.
- Handles multigraphs (parallel edges between the same vertex pair).
- Simple dict-based input for quick prototyping.
- Typed package with PEP 561 support.
- Requires Python 3.10 or later.
Installation
You can install spqrtree with pip:
pip install spqrtree
You may also install the latest source from the
spqrtree GitHub repository.
pip install git+https://github.com/imacat/spqrtree.git
Quick Start
from spqrtree import SPQRTree, NodeType
# K4 complete graph
graph = {
1: [2, 3, 4],
2: [1, 3, 4],
3: [1, 2, 4],
4: [1, 2, 3],
}
tree = SPQRTree(graph)
print(tree.root.type) # NodeType.R
print(len(tree.nodes())) # number of SPQR-tree nodes

This project was written from scratch in pure Python but drew
inspiration from the SageMath project. The SPQR-tree
implementation in SageMath served as a valuable reference for
both its implementation approach and its comprehensive test
cases.
Development was assisted by Claude Code (Anthropic).
