	EdgeListReader(self, separator, firstNode, commentPrefix="#", continuous=True, directed=False)

	Reads a graph from various text-based edge list formats.

	A line has to contain two or three entries separated with the separator symbol (one ASCII character).
	If at least one line contains three entries, the generated graph will be weighted and
	each line with only two fields will be interpreted as weight 1.0.

	A file may contain the same edge multiple times; then, the weight of the first
	occurrence is used.

	Undirected graphs need to include an edge only in one direction, i.e. edge {u, v} may
	be represented by (u, v) or (v, u) or both (again, only the first occurrence is used).

	If the input file contains non-continuous node ids with large gaps or non-integer node labels,
	set the parameter continuous to False. Then, gaps are automatically removed and node ids are
	reassigned to [0, n) where n is the number of nodes in the graph. The mapping will be arbitrary
	and can be accessed using getNodeMap().

	To shift continuous integer node labels which are not zero-indexed, set firstNode to
	the smallest id used in the file. firstNode will be ignored in the non-continuous case.

	The file may also include line comments which start with the commentPrefix.

	Parameters
	----------
	separator : str
		The separator character. Must have length of exactly one.
	firstNode : int
		The id of the first node, this value will be subtracted from all node ids.
	commentPrefix : str, optional
