Greg Hewgill的回答很好，但如果你每层需要更多的节点，你可以使用列表|字典来创建它们:然后使用方法按名称或顺序(如id)访问它们。

class node(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.name=None
        self.node=[]
        self.otherInfo = None
        self.prev=None
    def nex(self,child):
        "Gets a node by number"
        return self.node[child]
    def prev(self):
        return self.prev
    def goto(self,data):
        "Gets the node by name"
        for child in range(0,len(self.node)):
            if(self.node[child].name==data):
                return self.node[child]
    def add(self):
        node1=node()
        self.node.append(node1)
        node1.prev=self
        return node1

现在只需创建一个根并建立它: 例:

tree=node()  #create a node
tree.name="root" #name it root
tree.otherInfo="blue" #or what ever 
tree=tree.add() #add a node to the root
tree.name="node1" #name it

    root
   /
child1

tree=tree.add()
tree.name="grandchild1"

       root
      /
   child1
   /
grandchild1

tree=tree.prev()
tree=tree.add()
tree.name="gchild2"

          root
           /
        child1
        /    \
grandchild1 gchild2

tree=tree.prev()
tree=tree.prev()
tree=tree.add()
tree=tree.name="child2"

              root
             /   \
        child1  child2
       /     \
grandchild1 gchild2


tree=tree.prev()
tree=tree.goto("child1") or tree=tree.nex(0)
tree.name="changed"

              root
              /   \
         changed   child2
        /      \
  grandchild1  gchild2

这应该足够让你开始思考如何让它工作了

并没有内置树，但是可以通过从List继承Node类型并编写遍历方法来轻松地构造一个树。如果你这样做，我发现平分法很有用。

您还可以浏览PyPi上的许多实现。

如果我没记错的话，Python标准库不包含树数据结构，原因和。net基类库不包含树数据结构是一样的:内存的局部性降低了，导致缓存丢失更多。在现代处理器上，将大量内存放入缓存通常会更快，而“指针丰富”的数据结构会抵消这种好处。

Treelib也很方便完成这项任务。文档可以在treelib找到。

from treelib import Node, Tree
tree = Tree() # creating an object
tree.create_node("Harry", "harry")  # root node 
tree.create_node("Jane", "jane", parent="harry") #adding nodes
tree.create_node("Bill", "bill", parent="harry")
tree.create_node("Diane", "diane", parent="jane")
tree.create_node("Mary", "mary", parent="diane")
tree.create_node("Mark", "mark", parent="jane")
tree.show()

Harry
├── Bill
└── Jane
    ├── Diane
    │   └── Mary
    └── Mark

我将根树实现为字典{child:parent}。比如根节点为0，树可能是这样的:

tree={1:0, 2:0, 3:1, 4:2, 5:3}

这种结构使得沿着一条路径从任意节点向上到根结点非常容易，这与我正在处理的问题有关。
