Is it now finally faster than GraphLab? Couple years ago when I last used them, there were some operations like PageRank that was magnitudes faster with GraphLab. Hope they have caught up now. GraphLab has been deprecated for a long while now. Curious did or will they ever make it open-source.

networkx and pypy is a great combination. pypy really shines on pure python libraries like networkx and myhdl.

NetworkX(pure python with dict as the data structure) itself will never be faster than any C++ based library (I think GraphLab doesn't even exist now?) but with the new experimental backend plugins, you should be able to use NetworkX API and dispatch the computation to more efficient backends like GraphBLAS, and hopefully CuGraph in the future (if you have GPUs).
