I may be doing something wrong, but I believe this code will not work for multiple calls of dijkstra's algorithm. It seems to remove all of the nodes from the graph every time this algorithm is called.

unvisited = self.nodes and then unvisited.remove(min_node).

To fix this I changed line 28 to unvisited = copy.copy(self.nodes)
 

Can u help how to take input from a file . like a/ b/ 8 is format from node a to b distance is 8

@christopher-abastar @PDelerm @ctriley @khairakiran6 Sorry for not being responsive on this.
