<dd><p>Provides functionality to topologically sort a graph of <a class="reference internal" href="../glossary.html#term-hashable"><span class="xref std std-term">hashable</span></a> nodes.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>A topological order is a linear ordering of the vertices in a graph such that
 | 
						||
for every directed edge u -> v from vertex u to vertex v, vertex u comes
 | 
						||
before vertex v in the ordering. For instance, the vertices of the graph may
 | 
						||
represent tasks to be performed, and the edges may represent constraints that
 | 
						||
one task must be performed before another; in this example, a topological
 | 
						||
ordering is just a valid sequence for the tasks. A complete topological
 | 
						||
ordering is possible if and only if the graph has no directed cycles, that
 | 
						||
is, if it is a directed acyclic graph.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>If the optional <em>graph</em> argument is provided it must be a dictionary
 | 
						||
representing a directed acyclic graph where the keys are nodes and the values
 | 
						||
are iterables of all predecessors of that node in the graph (the nodes that
 | 
						||
have edges that point to the value in the key). Additional nodes can be added
 | 
						||
to the graph using the <a class="reference internal" href="#graphlib.TopologicalSorter.add" title="graphlib.TopologicalSorter.add"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">add()</span></code></a> method.</p>
 | 
						||
<p>In the general case, the steps required to perform the sorting of a given
 | 
						||
graph are as follows:</p>
 | 
						||
<ul class="simple">
 | 
						||
<li><p>Create an instance of the <a class="reference internal" href="#graphlib.TopologicalSorter" title="graphlib.TopologicalSorter"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TopologicalSorter</span></code></a> with an optional
 | 
						||
initial graph.</p></li>
 | 
						||
<li><p>Add additional nodes to the graph.</p></li>
 | 
						||
<li><p>Call <a class="reference internal" href="#graphlib.TopologicalSorter.prepare" title="graphlib.TopologicalSorter.prepare"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">prepare()</span></code></a> on the graph.</p></li>
 | 
						||
<li><p>While <a class="reference internal" href="#graphlib.TopologicalSorter.is_active" title="graphlib.TopologicalSorter.is_active"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">is_active()</span></code></a> is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">True</span></code>, iterate over
 | 
						||
the nodes returned by <a class="reference internal" href="#graphlib.TopologicalSorter.get_ready" title="graphlib.TopologicalSorter.get_ready"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">get_ready()</span></code></a> and
 | 
						||
process them. Call <a class="reference internal" href="#graphlib.TopologicalSorter.done" title="graphlib.TopologicalSorter.done"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">done()</span></code></a> on each node as it
 | 
						||
finishes processing.</p></li>
 | 
						||
</ul>
 | 
						||
<p>In case just an immediate sorting of the nodes in the graph is required and
 | 
						||
no parallelism is involved, the convenience method
 | 
						||
<a class="reference internal" href="#graphlib.TopologicalSorter.static_order" title="graphlib.TopologicalSorter.static_order"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TopologicalSorter.static_order()</span></code></a> can be used directly:</p>
