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。

我使用嵌套字典实现了树。这很容易做到，而且对我来说，它在相当大的数据集上很有效。我在下面发布了一个示例，你可以在谷歌代码中看到更多

  def addBallotToTree(self, tree, ballotIndex, ballot=""):
    """Add one ballot to the tree.

    The root of the tree is a dictionary that has as keys the indicies of all 
    continuing and winning candidates.  For each candidate, the value is also
    a dictionary, and the keys of that dictionary include "n" and "bi".
    tree[c]["n"] is the number of ballots that rank candidate c first.
    tree[c]["bi"] is a list of ballot indices where the ballots rank c first.

    If candidate c is a winning candidate, then that portion of the tree is
    expanded to indicate the breakdown of the subsequently ranked candidates.
    In this situation, additional keys are added to the tree[c] dictionary
    corresponding to subsequently ranked candidates.
    tree[c]["n"] is the number of ballots that rank candidate c first.
    tree[c]["bi"] is a list of ballot indices where the ballots rank c first.
    tree[c][d]["n"] is the number of ballots that rank c first and d second.
    tree[c][d]["bi"] is a list of the corresponding ballot indices.

    Where the second ranked candidates is also a winner, then the tree is 
    expanded to the next level.  

    Losing candidates are ignored and treated as if they do not appear on the 
    ballots.  For example, tree[c][d]["n"] is the total number of ballots
    where candidate c is the first non-losing candidate, c is a winner, and
    d is the next non-losing candidate.  This will include the following
    ballots, where x represents a losing candidate:
    [c d]
    [x c d]
    [c x d]
    [x c x x d]

    During the count, the tree is dynamically updated as candidates change
    their status.  The parameter "tree" to this method may be the root of the
    tree or may be a sub-tree.
    """

    if ballot == "":
      # Add the complete ballot to the tree
      weight, ballot = self.b.getWeightedBallot(ballotIndex)
    else:
      # When ballot is not "", we are adding a truncated ballot to the tree,
      # because a higher-ranked candidate is a winner.
      weight = self.b.getWeight(ballotIndex)

    # Get the top choice among candidates still in the running
    # Note that we can't use Ballots.getTopChoiceFromWeightedBallot since
    # we are looking for the top choice over a truncated ballot.
    for c in ballot:
      if c in self.continuing | self.winners:
        break # c is the top choice so stop
    else:
      c = None # no candidates left on this ballot

    if c is None:
      # This will happen if the ballot contains only winning and losing
      # candidates.  The ballot index will not need to be transferred
      # again so it can be thrown away.
      return

    # Create space if necessary.
    if not tree.has_key(c):
      tree[c] = {}
      tree[c]["n"] = 0
      tree[c]["bi"] = []

    tree[c]["n"] += weight

    if c in self.winners:
      # Because candidate is a winner, a portion of the ballot goes to
      # the next candidate.  Pass on a truncated ballot so that the same
      # candidate doesn't get counted twice.
      i = ballot.index(c)
      ballot2 = ballot[i+1:]
      self.addBallotToTree(tree[c], ballotIndex, ballot2)
    else:
      # Candidate is in continuing so we stop here.
      tree[c]["bi"].append(ballotIndex)

如果有人需要一个更简单的方法，树只是一个递归嵌套的列表(因为set是不可哈希的):

[root, [child_1, [[child_11, []], [child_12, []]], [child_2, []]]]

每个分支都是一对:[object， [children]] 每个叶子是一对:[object， []]

但是如果你需要一个带有方法的类，你可以使用任何树。

泛型树是一个具有零个或多个子节点的节点，每个子节点都是一个合适的(树)节点。它与二叉树不同，它们是不同的数据结构，尽管它们都有一些相同的术语。

Python中没有任何用于泛型树的内置数据结构，但很容易通过类实现。

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')])])

bigtree是一个Python树实现，集成了Python列表、字典和pandas DataFrame。它是python式的，易于学习，并可扩展到许多类型的工作流。

bigtree有很多组成部分，即

从列表、字典和熊猫数据框架构建树 遍历树 修改树(移位/复制节点) 搜索树 辅助方法(克隆树，修剪树，获取两个树之间的差异) 导出树(打印到控制台，导出树到字典，熊猫数据框架，图像等) 其他树结构:二叉树! 其他图结构:有向无环图(dag)!

我还能说什么呢……是的，这也是有据可查的。

一些例子:

from bigtree import list_to_tree, tree_to_dict, tree_to_dot

# Create tree from list, print tree
root = list_to_tree(["a/b/d", "a/c"])
print_tree(root)
# a
# ├── b
# │   └── d
# └── c

# Query tree
root.children
# (Node(/a/b, ), Node(/a/c, ))

# Export tree to dictionary / image
tree_to_dict(root)
# {
#     '/a': {'name': 'a'},
#     '/a/b': {'name': 'b'},
#     '/a/b/d': {'name': 'd'},
#     '/a/c': {'name': 'c'}
# }

graph = tree_to_dot(root, node_colour="gold")
graph.write_png("tree.png")

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
