19 
20 This concept defines the visitor interface for <a
21 href="./bellman_ford_shortest.html"><tt>bellman_ford_shortest_paths()</tt></a>.
22 Users can define a class with the Bellman Ford Visitor interface and
23 pass and object of the class to <tt>bellman_ford_shortest_paths()</tt>,
24 thereby augmenting the actions taken during the graph search.

146 <h3>Python</h3>
147 
148 To implement a model of the <tt>BellmanFordVisitor</tt> concept in Python,
149 create a new class that derives from the <tt>BellmanFordVisitor</tt> type of
150 the graph, which will be
151 named <tt><i>GraphType</i>.BellmanFordVisitor</tt>. The events and syntax are
152 the same as with visitors in C++. Here is an example for the
153 Python <tt>bgl.Graph</tt> graph type:
154 
155 <pre>
156 class count_tree_edges_bellman_ford_visitor(bgl.Graph.BellmanFordVisitor):
157   def __init__(self, name_map):
158     bgl.Graph.BellmanFordVisitor.__init__(self)
159     self.name_map = name_map
160 
161   def edge_relaxed(self, e, g):
162     (u, v) = (g.source(e), g.target(e))
163     print "Relaxed edge ",
164     print self.name_map[u],
165     print " -> ",
166     print self.name_map[v]
