Re: [igraph] assortativity for small world graph

Hi Simone,

> directed=True, mutual=False);
Note that the nei=... option is not supported yet in the Python
interface, so this is equivalent to a ring with g.vcount() vertices.
Also note that the Python code snippet you use uses the total degree, so
there's no need to make your graph directed as the assortativity
calculation will treat it as if it were undirected.

It can happen easily if all the vertices have degree 1. In that case,
you end up with 0/0 in the definition of assortativity. Feel free to
catch the exception and treat the assortativity as zero in these cases.
