Why This Project Is Awesome

Which criterion does it meet? (pick one)

  • "Industry Standard"
  • "Rising Star"
  • "Hidden Gem"

Explain:

This library implements a fast heuristic for Minimum Cycle Basis (MCB) that is up to 355x faster than NetworkX on sparse/planar graphs (e.g., grids, molecular graphs), with <3% error on general random graphs. It's written in pure Python with zero dependencies and includes a NetworkX-compatible adapter.

How It Differs

If similar entries exist, what makes this one unique?

Unlike educational algorithm repos like TheAlgorithms, this is a production-ready tool optimized for real-world performance in computational chemistry, EDA, and network analysis. It achieves C-extension-level speed in pure Python.
