Great response, thanks for the swift answer.
I'm sure I'll have more questions. Keep up the great work

Since Tinkerpop and pyBlueprints have their own graph data structure,
there is no other way than to convert it to graph-tool's format. There
are no plans to make the connection tighter, since this would involve
major rewrites.
However you can do better than writing it to a file by simply writing a
converter in Python. All you need to do is iterate through the edges and
vertices and add them to a new graph-tool graph, and vice versa.
Best,
