The SIR model in the R version of igraph is an R-only extension -- the reason
why it's not in the Python interface is because it is not implemented in the
C core of igraph on top of which the R and Python interfaces are built.

However, others have built SIR model implementations in igraph so you can take
a third-party implementation and start tweaking it. This seems to be a good
starting point:
