With my basic knowledge I have practically no chance - especially for the project work, which we have to deliver on June 20, 2020. We are not allowed to use Gephi. Everything must be analyzed and derived in Python. So I am dependent on help and thank you for every support, no matter how small.

as Alan has pointed out, this is pretty sophisticated stuff.

NetworkX is a currently popular package for dealing with network graphs,
and it's able to deal in both the older gexf format and the newer
graphml format.  So all the boxes are ticked.  But if you're getting all
of this thrown at you at once, that's a big load to swallow.

I'm about to delve in a little bit, because of an incoming request on a
project I work on, but that door hasn't been opened yet for me.

You're unlikely to get much help here, unless one of the contributors
happens to be a practitioner; there are thousands upon thousands of
Python packages, nobody knows them all.

I'd suggest digging around a bit on the NetworkX mailing list, which is
a Google Group and thus pretty easily searchable, to see if there are
people you can talk to.
