A topological sort is a nonunique permutation of the nodes such that an

Parameters
----------
G : NetworkX digraph
A directed acyclic graph (DAG)

Returns
-------
iterable
An iterable of node names in topological sorted order.

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

NetworkXUnfeasible
If G is not a directed acyclic graph (DAG) no topological sort exists
and a :exc:NetworkXUnfeasible exception is raised.  This can also be
raised if G is changed while the returned iterator is being processed

RuntimeError
If G is changed while the returned iterator is being processed.

Examples
--------
To get the reverse order of the topological sort:

>>> DG = nx.DiGraph([(1, 2), (2, 3)])
>>> list(reversed(list(nx.topological_sort(DG))))
[3, 2, 1]

and nodes representing people/processes that initiate tasks, then
topological_sort is not quite what you need. You will have to change
the tasks to nodes with dependence reflected by edges. The result is
a kind of topological sort of the edges. This can be done
with :func:networkx.line_graph as follows:

>>> list(nx.topological_sort(nx.line_graph(DG)))

def dag_to_branching(G):
"""Returns a branching representing all (overlapping) paths from
root nodes to leaf nodes in the given directed acyclic graph.

As described in :mod:networkx.algorithms.tree.recognition, a
*branching* is a directed forest in which each node has at most one
parent. In other words, a branching is a disjoint union of
*arborescences*. For this function, each node of in-degree zero in
G becomes a root of one of the arborescences, and there will be
one leaf node for each distinct path from that root to a leaf node
in G.

Each node v in G with *k* parents becomes *k* distinct nodes in
the returned branching, one for each parent, and the sub-DAG rooted
at v is duplicated for each copy. The algorithm then recurses on
the children of each copy of v.

Parameters
----------
G : NetworkX graph
A directed acyclic graph.

Returns
-------
DiGraph
The branching in which there is a bijection between root-to-leaf
paths in G (in which multiple paths may share the same leaf)
and root-to-leaf paths in the branching (in which there is a
unique path from a root to a leaf).

Each node has an attribute 'source' whose value is the original
node to which this node corresponds. No other graph, node, or
edge attributes are copied into this new graph.

Raises
------
NetworkXNotImplemented
If G is not directed, or if G is a multigraph.

HasACycle
If G is not acyclic.

Examples
--------
To examine which nodes in the returned branching were produced by
which original node in the directed acyclic graph, we can collect
the mapping from source node to new nodes into a dictionary. For
example, consider the directed diamond graph::

>>> from collections import defaultdict
>>> from operator import itemgetter
>>>
>>> G = nx.DiGraph(nx.utils.pairwise('abd'))
>>> B = nx.dag_to_branching(G)
>>>
>>> sources = defaultdict(set)
>>> for v, source in B.nodes(data='source'):
>>> len(sources['a'])
1
>>> len(sources['d'])
2

To copy node attributes from the original graph to the new graph,
you can use a dictionary like the one constructed in the above
example::

>>> for source, nodes in sources.items():
...     for v in nodes:
...         B.node[v].update(G.node[source])

Notes
-----
This function is not idempotent in the sense that the node labels in
the returned branching may be uniquely generated each time the
function is invoked. In fact, the node labels may not be integers;
in order to relabel the nodes to be more readable, you can use the
:func:networkx.convert_node_labels_to_integers function.

The current implementation of this function uses
:func:networkx.prefix_tree, so it is subject to the limitations of
that function.
