topological_sort_recursive(G, nbunch=None)[source]

Return a list of nodes in topological sort order.

A topological sort is a nonunique permutation of the nodes such that an edge from u to v implies that u appears before v in the topological sort order.

Parameters :

G : NetworkX digraph

nbunch : container of nodes (optional)

Explore graph in specified order given in nbunch

Raises :

NetworkXError :

Topological sort is defined for directed graphs only. If the graph G is undirected, a NetworkXError is raised.

NetworkXUnfeasible :

If G is not a directed acyclic graph (DAG) no topological sort exists and a NetworkXUnfeasible exception is raised.

Notes

This is a recursive version of topological sort.
