kosaraju_strongly_connected_components¶

kosaraju_strongly_connected_components(G, source=None)[source]¶

Generate nodes in strongly connected components of graph.

Parameters:	G (NetworkX Graph) – An directed graph.
Returns:	comp – A genrator of sets of nodes, one for each strongly connected component of G.
Return type:	generator of sets
Raises:	NetworkXNotImplemented: – If G is undirected.

Examples

Generate a sorted list of strongly connected components, largest first.

>>> G = nx.cycle_graph(4, create_using=nx.DiGraph())
>>> G.add_cycle([10, 11, 12])
>>> [len(c) for c in sorted(nx.kosaraju_strongly_connected_components(G),
...                         key=len, reverse=True)]
[4, 3]

If you only want the largest component, it’s more efficient to use max instead of sort.

>>> largest = max(nx.kosaraju_strongly_connected_components(G), key=len)
