Designing a network in Python

[varun7rs at gmail.com]

Hello Friends

I would like to design a network given the topology and the source I use is 
http://sndlib.zib.de/home.action

I have managed to read most of the important data in the xml onto lists. Now, I have two lists, Source and Destination and I'd like to create bi-directional links between them. My code is as below. And moreover, I'd like to assign some kind of a bandwidth capacity to the links and similarly, storage and processing capacity to the nodes. So, I generated some random integers for them. I don't know how to proceed further to design the topology. I'd prefer to do the topology design in another .py file probably. I'd be glad if you guys could lend me a helping hand.
