You can use connections=(), so you don't need the "if" below.  In
fact, you can further write:

    for node, weight in connections:
        self._connected.append(node)
        self._weight.append(weight)

I'd drop the getters and simply use self.connected, self.weights, etc.
It's not such a big deal in Python if someone can view the innards of
your objects; they can do so even if their name starts with _.

Also note that Python doesn't really use the camel-case naming
convention.  If you must have multi-word method/variable/property
names, use lower-case with underscores for separation.  For example:

> 	def getConnections(self):

Why not simply def connections(self) or, if you must, def
get_connections(self).

Use xrange(len(...)) when iterating over the sequence; range
unnecessarily allocates the whole list.  Some will probably recommend
enumerate() or even itertools.izip(), but those are overkill for this
usage.
