"""A dependency graph for finding evaluation order.
Example
-------
>>> # The basic use case is that you have a bunch of keys
>>> # and some of them depend on each other:
>>> database = []
>>> functions = {'read': {'func': lambda: (0,1,2),
... 'needs': []},
... 'process': {'func': lambda X: [x**2 for x in X],
... 'needs': ['read']},
... 'save': {'func': lambda x: database.append(x),
... 'needs': ['process']},
... 'print': {'func': lambda x,y: print(x, "became", y),
... 'needs': ['read', 'process']},
... 'auxiliary': {'func': lambda: (1,2,3),
... 'needs': []}}
>>> # If this is user supplied info, so you can't just hardcode the order,
>>> # a dependency graph may be needed.
>>> dg = DependencyGraph()
>>> # In simple cases, you can just encode the dependencies directly:
>>> for key, conf in functions.items():
... for needed in conf["needs"]:
... dg.add_edge(key, needed)
>>> # Now we can evaluate:
>>> outputs = {}
>>> for node in dg.get_evaluation_order():
... f = functions[node.key]['func']
... args = [outputs[needed] for needed in functions[node.key]['needs']]
... outputs[node.key] = f(*args)
(0, 1, 2) became [0, 1, 4]
>>> # This added nodes implicitly.
>>> # However, since 'auxiliary' didn't depend on anything,
>>> # it didn't get added!
>>> assert 'auxiliary' not in outputs
>>> # So to be careful, we should also manually add nodes for any thing that
>>> # is not an intermediate step.
>>> _ = dg.add_node('auxiliary')
>>> assert 'auxiliary' in (node.key for node in dg.get_evaluation_order())
>>> # Arbitrary data can be added to nodes:
>>> dg2 = DependencyGraph()
>>> for key, conf in functions.items():
... _ = dg2.add_node(key, conf)
... for needed in conf["needs"]:
... dg2.add_edge(key, needed)
>>> # Now we get access to the data in evaluation:
>>> outputs2 = {}
>>> for key, _, conf in dg2.get_evaluation_order():
... f = conf['func']
... args = [outputs[needed] for needed in conf['needs']]
... outputs[key] = f(*args)
(0, 1, 2) became [0, 1, 4]

"""General-purpose dependency graph.
Essentially a directed acyclic graph.
Usually used to find an evaluation order for e.g. variable substitution
The relation that an edge between A and B represents is:
"A depends on B, i.e. B should be evaluated before A"
Nodes can be added explicitly or they can be created implicitly
while adding edges.
Nodes have keys, which should be some hashable value that identifies
the elements the graph represents in your use case. E.G. they can just
be the variable name you want to substitute.
However, if needed, more generally you can attach any data to a node
(e.g. a path in your tree), and if so desired, a unique key can be
created for you. You'll only need to know that key while adding edges
to/from it.
Implicit keys and explicit keys can also be mixed.

the algorithm for finding cycles is essentially the same as the one

anyway.
