def asyn_lpa_communities(G, weight=None, seed=None):
"""Returns communities in `G` as detected by asynchronous label
propagation.
The asynchronous label propagation algorithm is described in
[1]_. The algorithm is probabilistic and the found communities may
vary on different executions.
The algorithm proceeds as follows. After initializing each node with
a unique label, the algorithm repeatedly sets the label of a node to
be the label that appears most frequently among that nodes
neighbors. The algorithm halts when each node has the label that
appears most frequently among its neighbors. The algorithm is
asynchronous because each node is updated without waiting for
updates on the remaining nodes.
This generalized version of the algorithm in [1]_ accepts edge
weights.
Parameters
----------
G : Graph
weight : string
The edge attribute representing the weight of an edge.
If None, each edge is assumed to have weight one. In this
algorithm, the weight of an edge is used in determining the
frequency with which a label appears among the neighbors of a
node: a higher weight means the label appears more often.
seed : integer, random_state, or None (default)
Indicator of random number generation state.
See :ref:`Randomness<randomness>`.
Returns
-------
communities : iterable
Iterable of communities given as sets of nodes.
Notes
------
Edge weight attributes must be numerical.
