I recommend anytree (I am the author).
Example:
from anytree import Node, RenderTree
udo = Node("Udo")
marc = Node("Marc", parent=udo)
lian = Node("Lian", parent=marc)
dan = Node("Dan", parent=udo)
jet = Node("Jet", parent=dan)
jan = Node("Jan", parent=dan)
joe = Node("Joe", parent=dan)
print(udo)
Node('/Udo')
print(joe)
Node('/Udo/Dan/Joe')
for pre, fill, node in RenderTree(udo):
print("%s%s" % (pre, node.name))
Udo
├── Marc
│ └── Lian
└── Dan
├── Jet
├── Jan
└── Joe
print(dan.children)
(Node('/Udo/Dan/Jet'), Node('/Udo/Dan/Jan'), Node('/Udo/Dan/Joe'))
anytree has also a powerful API with:
Python doesn't have the quite the extensive range of "built-in" data structures as Java does. However, because Python is dynamic, a general tree is easy to create. For example, a binary tree might be:
class Tree:
def __init__(self):
self.left = None
self.right = None
self.data = None
You can use it like this:
root = Tree()
root.data = "root"
root.left = Tree()
root.left.data = "left"
root.right = Tree()
root.right.data = "right"
If you need an arbitrary number of children per node, then use a list of children:
class Tree:
def __init__(self, data):
self.children = []
self.data = data
left = Tree("left")
middle = Tree("middle")
right = Tree("right")
root = Tree("root")
root.children = [left, middle, right]
A generic tree is a node with zero or more children, each one a proper (tree) node. It isn't the same as a binary tree, they're different data structures, although both shares some terminology.
There isn't any builtin data structure for generic trees in Python, but it's easily implemented with classes.
class Tree(object):
"Generic tree node."
def __init__(self, name='root', children=None):
self.name = name
self.children = []
if children is not None:
for child in children:
self.add_child(child)
def __repr__(self):
return self.name
def add_child(self, node):
assert isinstance(node, Tree)
self.children.append(node)
# *
# /|\
# 1 2 +
# / \
# 3 4
t = Tree('*', [Tree('1'),
Tree('2'),
Tree('+', [Tree('3'),
Tree('4')])])
You can try:
from collections import defaultdict
def tree(): return defaultdict(tree)
users = tree()
users['harold']['username'] = 'hrldcpr'
users['handler']['username'] = 'matthandlersux'

There aren't trees built in, but you can easily construct one by subclassing a Node type from List and writing the traversal methods. If you do this, I've found bisect useful.
There are also many implementations on PyPi that you can browse.
If I remember correctly, the Python standard lib doesn't include tree data structures for the same reason that the .NET base class library doesn't: locality of memory is reduced, resulting in more cache misses. On modern processors it's usually faster to just bring a large chunk of memory into the cache, and "pointer rich" data structures negate the benefit.
I implemented a rooted tree as a dictionary {child:parent}. So for instance with the root node 0, a tree might look like that:
tree={1:0, 2:0, 3:1, 4:2, 5:3}
This structure made it quite easy to go upward along a path from any node to the root, which was relevant for the problem I was working on.
