Different kinds of multilayer network data are becoming more and more available, but our computational tools for handling such data are lagging behind. Python is a popular programming language for network scientists and data scientists, and `pymnet` addresses the need for a feature-rich multilayer-networks package in the Python language that is actively maintained.
