networkx.single_source_shortest_path_length

single_source_shortest_path_length(G, source, cutoff=None)

Compute the shortest path lengths from source to all reachable nodes.

Parameters:

G : NetworkX graph

source : node

Starting node for path

cutoff : integer, optional

Depth to stop the search. Only paths of length <= cutoff are returned.

Returns:

lengths : dictionary

Dictionary of shortest path lengths keyed by target.
