edge
Edges are either two-tuples of nodes (u,v) or three tuples
of nodes with an edge attribute dictionary (u,v,dict).
ebunch
An iteratable container of edge tuples like a list, iterator,
or file.
edge attribute
Edges can have arbitrary Python objects assigned as attributes
by using keyword/value pairs when adding an edge
assigning to the G.edge[u][v] attribute dictionary for the
specified edge u-v.
hashable
An object is hashable if it has a hash value which never changes
during its lifetime (it needs a __hash__() method), and can be
compared to other objects (it needs an __eq__() or __cmp__()
method). Hashable objects which compare equal must have the same
hash value.
Hashability makes an object usable as a dictionary key and a set
member, because these data structures use the hash value internally.
All of Python's immutable built-in objects are hashable, while no
mutable containers (such as lists or dictionaries) are. Objects
which are instances of user-defined classes are hashable by
default; they all compare unequal, and their hash value is their
id().

nbunch
An nbunch is any iterable container of nodes that is not itself
a node in the graph. It can be an iterable or an iterator,
e.g. a list, set, graph, file, etc..
node attribute
Nodes can have arbitrary Python objects assigned as attributes
by using keyword/value pairs when adding a node or
assigning to the G.node[n] attribute dictionary for the
specified node n.
node
A node can be any hashable Python object except None.
dictionary
A Python dictionary maps keys to values. Also known as "hashes",
or "associative arrays".
