How to make a click-able graph by networkx?

I found couple of incomplete code segments in the solution posted by @minerals. Here I am posting a working code segment for python3

import networkx as nx
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd
from pylab import *

    callback for matplotlib to visit a node (display an annotation) when points are clicked on.  The
    point which is closest to the click and within xtol and ytol is identified.

[Update of alessandro’s answer]

Here is updated alessandro’s answer for python 3.

Note that pylab usage is not recommended.
