I thought about bringing this discussion here from my message on igraph mailing list since it relates to this feature: 

It seems to me (I may be badly mistaken) that current bipartite projection by weighted graphs do not account for the original graph weights. 

To contextualize, here a bad hand draw example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fl69kekipqksd4i/Screenshot%202014-12-01%2012.51.22.png?dl=0

I am interested on both values (red circle and orange square), however igraph documentation only accounts (or at least suggest to on the documentation) for the orange one:  http://igraph.org/python/doc/igraph.Graph-class.html#bipartite_projection  

I checked networkX as well but I couldn't find anything about weighted bipartite graph projections: 
http://networkx.lanl.gov/archive/networkx-1.6/_modules/networkx/algorithms/bipartite/projection.html

Is it possible for this to be taken into account when the posted 'issue' is tackled? 

Thank you,

Carlos A.

Dears, 


Thank you for the layout information Guillaume, this will come to use in due time, although it wasn't really what I was after :-) 

Tiago Peixoto, I opened an issue here: https://git.skewed.de/count0/graph-tool/issues/196 linked to this discussion. 

Thank you both for the quick reply, and the interest on implementing this feature.

Best Regards,

Carlos A.

Bipartite projection is currently not implemented, but this is a very
easy one. Just open a ticket for it on the website and I'll include an
implementation when I have some time.

Best,
Tiago
