Software for testing graph homomorphism

Problem
I have graphs $G_k$ and $H_k$ with $|\mathcal{V}(G_k)|=|\mathcal{V}(H_k)|^{2k}=n^{2k}$ with $k\in\Bbb N$ that pass sanity checks such as no-homomorphism lemma. Are there free and easy to use tools to test graph homomorphism from $G$ to $H$?
Solution
The best way (in terms of laziness) is to use the freely available tool Sage which has the best support for graph theory.
Example
Example
sage: G = graphs.PetersenGraph()
sage: G.has_homomorphism_to(graphs.CycleGraph(5))
False
sage: G.has_homomorphism_to(graphs.CompleteGraph(5))
