There is no GraphX API for Python, and there won't be one. See SPARK-3789 Python bindings for GraphX. GraphX as such is in the maintenance mode and is no longer actively developed.

You can use Graphframes, which provide Dataframe based graph processing, and optionally interface selected GraphX functions under the covers.
