    A right-stochastic graph is a weighted graph in which all of

    -----------
    G : graph
      A NetworkX graph, must have valid edge weights

      If True make a copy of the graph, otherwise modify original graph

    weight : key (optional)
      Edge data key used for weight.  If None all weights are set to 1.
