The installation in Python is easiest using PEAK's EasyInstall script:

1. Download the ez_setup.py script from here:
http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
2. Run the script using python, type: python ez_setup.py
3. Now you have a command called easy_install, which is able to
install most of the modules found in the Python Package Index
(http://www.python.org/pypi). Type: easy_install igraph
Make sure that you have a C compiler and the Python and libxml
development libraries. (Under Debian and Ubuntu, you'll need the
following packages: build-essential, libxml2-dev, python-dev)

However, the Python command line interface is only able to save a
graph visualization into SVG format with the write_svg method of the
Graph object.

Best,
