I think you could simply copying the visualize.py into the same directory as the script you are running.

If you wanted it in your lib/site-packages directory so you could import it with the neat module:

copy visualize.py into lib/site-packages/neat/ and modify __init__.py to add the line import neat.visualize as visualize. Delete the __pycache__ directory. Make sure you have modules installed: Numpy, GraphViz, and Matplotlib. When you've done the above, you should be able to import neat and access neat.visualize.

I don't recommend doing this though for several reasons:

  1. Say you wanted to update your neat module. Your visualize.py file is technically not part of the module. So it wouldn't be updated along with your neat module.
  2. the visualize.py file seems to be written in the context of the examples as opposed to being for general use with the module, so contextually, it doesn't belong there.
  3. At some point in the future, you might also forget that this wasn't a part of the module, but your code acts as if it was part of the API. So your code will break in some other neat installation.

It is relatively straightforward, with a single notable trick: the conversion from a Python module path to a hue color value on a 360 degrees scale.

But importing functions from the .py file works good. I have tried to import a simple test function from .py and that one imports and works perfectely in the .ipynb file. Therefor I think there might be a problem with calling on functions to show plots and other visualization tools.

We'll be using route, airport, and airline data. Each row in the route data corresponds to an airline route between two airports. Each row in the airport data corresponds to an airport in the world, and has information about it. Each row in the airline data represents a single airline.
