Description changed by jmantysalo:

Old description:

> Height of a poset is defined as a length of the longest chain. It can be
> done for example like this:
>
> {{{
> def height(P):
>     if P.cardinality() == 0:
>         return 0
>     H=P.hasse_diagram().to_undirected()
>     m=0
>     for s in H.connected_components():
>         m=max(H.subgraph(s).diameter(),m)
>     return m+1
> }}}
>
> or as a length of level_sets or...

New description:

 Height of a poset is defined as a length of the longest chain:

 {{{
 def height(P):
     return max([len(x) for x in P.maximal_chains()])
 }}}

 but there is probably some faster way?
