def flow_hierarchy(G, weight=None):
"""Returns the flow hierarchy of a directed network.
Flow hierarchy is defined as the fraction of edges not participating
in cycles in a directed graph [1]_.
Parameters
----------
G : DiGraph or MultiDiGraph
A directed graph
weight : string, optional (default=None)
Attribute to use for edge weights. If None the weight defaults to 1.
Returns
-------
h : float
Flow hierarchy value
Notes
-----
The algorithm described in [1]_ computes the flow hierarchy through
exponentiation of the adjacency matrix. This function implements an
alternative approach that finds strongly connected components.
An edge is in a cycle if and only if it is in a strongly connected
component, which can be found in $O(m)$ time using Tarjan's algorithm.
