Python: Create a graph with defined number of edges per node

Question

How I can create a graph with

-predefined number of connections for each node, say 3

-given distribution of connections (say Poisson distribution with given mean)

Thanks

Answer 1

If you are using NetworkX you might try the "configuration model". This was discussed in the SO question Generating a graph with certain degree distribution?

In graph theory terminology the number of connections is called "degree". And graphs with uniform degree (all nodes the same) are called "regular graphs".
