"""
Compute the shortest paths and path lengths between nodes in the graph.
These algorithms work with undirected and directed graphs.
For directed graphs the paths can be computed in the reverse
order by first flipping the edge orientation using R=G.reverse(copy=False).

"""Compute shortest paths in the graph.
Parameters
----------
G : NetworkX graph
source : node, optional
Starting node for path.
If not specified, compute shortest paths using all nodes as source nodes.
target : node, optional
Ending node for path.
If not specified, compute shortest paths using all nodes as target nodes.
weight : None or string, optional (default = None)
If None, every edge has weight/distance/cost 1.
If a string, use this edge attribute as the edge weight.
Any edge attribute not present defaults to 1.
Returns
-------
path: list or dictionary
All returned paths include both the source and target in the path.
If the source and target are both specified, return a single list
of nodes in a shortest path from the source to the target.
If only the source is specified, return a dictionary keyed by
targets with a list of nodes in a shortest path from the source
to one of the targets.
If only the target is specified, return a dictionary keyed by
sources with a list of nodes in a shortest path from one of the
sources to the target.
If neither the source nor target are specified return a dictionary
of dictionaries with path[source][target]=[list of nodes in path].
Examples
--------
>>> G=nx.path_graph(5)
>>> print(nx.shortest_path(G,source=0,target=4))
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> p=nx.shortest_path(G,source=0) # target not specified
>>> p[4]
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> p=nx.shortest_path(G,target=4) # source not specified
>>> p[0]
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> p=nx.shortest_path(G) # source,target not specified
>>> p[0][4]
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
Notes
-----
There may be more than one shortest path between a source and target.
This returns only one of them.
For digraphs this returns a shortest directed path. To find paths in the
reverse direction first use G.reverse(copy=False) to flip the edge
orientation.

"""Compute shortest path lengths in the graph.
Parameters
----------
G : NetworkX graph
source : node, optional
Starting node for path.
If not specified, compute shortest path lengths using all nodes as
source nodes.
target : node, optional

If not specified, compute shortest path lengths using all nodes as

If None, every edge has weight/distance/cost 1.
If a string, use this edge attribute as the edge weight.
Any edge attribute not present defaults to 1.
Returns
-------
length: int or dictionary
If the source and target are both specified, return the length of
the shortest path from the source to the target.
If only the source is specified, return a dictionary keyed by
targets whose values are the lengths of the shortest path from the
source to one of the targets.
If only the target is specified, return a dictionary keyed by
sources whose values are the lengths of the shortest path from one
of the sources to the target.
If neither the source nor target are specified return a dictionary
of dictionaries with path[source][target]=L, where L is the length
of the shortest path from source to target.
Raises
------
NetworkXNoPath
If no path exists between source and target.
Examples
--------
>>> G=nx.path_graph(5)
>>> print(nx.shortest_path_length(G,source=0,target=4))
4
>>> p=nx.shortest_path_length(G,source=0) # target not specified
>>> p[4]
4
>>> p=nx.shortest_path_length(G,target=4) # source not specified
>>> p[0]
4
>>> p=nx.shortest_path_length(G) # source,target not specified
>>> p[0][4]
4
Notes
-----
The length of the path is always 1 less than the number of nodes involved
in the path since the length measures the number of edges followed.
For digraphs this returns the shortest directed path length. To find path
lengths in the reverse direction use G.reverse(copy=False) first to flip
the edge orientation.
