"""
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 for all connected node pairs.
target : node, optional
Ending node for path.
If not specified compute shortest paths for every node reachable
from the source.
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
If the source and target are both specified return a single list
of nodes in a shortest path.
If only the source is specified return a dictionary keyed by
targets with a list of nodes in a shortest path.
If neither the source or target is 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) # 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 use G.reverse(copy=False)
first to flip the edge orientation.

"""Compute shortest path lengths in the graph.
This function can compute the single source shortest path
lengths by specifying only the source or all pairs shortest
path lengths by specifying neither the source or target.
Parameters
----------
G : NetworkX graph
source : node, optional
Starting node for path.
If not specified compute shortest path lengths for all
connected node pairs.
target : node, optional
Ending node for path.
If not specified compute shortest path lengths for every

If a string, use this edge attribute as the edge weight.

Returns
-------
length : number, or container of numbers
If the source and target are both specified return a
single number for the shortest path.
If only the source is specified return a dictionary keyed by
targets with a the shortest path as keys.
If neither the source or target is specified return a dictionary
of dictionaries with length[source][target]=value.
Raises
------
NetworkXNoPath
If no path exists between source and target.
Examples
--------
