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。

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

如果您想要创建树数据结构，那么首先必须创建treeElement对象。如果您创建了treeElement对象，那么您可以决定树的行为。

下面是TreeElement类:

class TreeElement (object):

def __init__(self):
    self.elementName = None
    self.element = []
    self.previous = None
    self.elementScore = None
    self.elementParent = None
    self.elementPath = []
    self.treeLevel = 0

def goto(self, data):
    for child in range(0, len(self.element)):
        if (self.element[child].elementName == data):
            return self.element[child]

def add(self):

    single_element = TreeElement()
    single_element.elementName = self.elementName
    single_element.previous = self.elementParent
    single_element.elementScore = self.elementScore
    single_element.elementPath = self.elementPath
    single_element.treeLevel = self.treeLevel

    self.element.append(single_element)

    return single_element

现在，我们必须使用这个元素来创建树，在这个例子中我使用的是A*树。

class AStarAgent(Agent):
# Initialization Function: Called one time when the game starts
def registerInitialState(self, state):
    return;

# GetAction Function: Called with every frame
def getAction(self, state):

    # Sorting function for the queue
    def sortByHeuristic(each_element):

        if each_element.elementScore:
            individual_score = each_element.elementScore[0][0] + each_element.treeLevel
        else:
            individual_score = admissibleHeuristic(each_element)

        return individual_score

    # check the game is over or not
    if state.isWin():
        print('Job is done')
        return Directions.STOP
    elif state.isLose():
        print('you lost')
        return Directions.STOP

    # Create empty list for the next states
    astar_queue = []
    astar_leaf_queue = []
    astar_tree_level = 0
    parent_tree_level = 0

    # Create Tree from the give node element
    astar_tree = TreeElement()
    astar_tree.elementName = state
    astar_tree.treeLevel = astar_tree_level
    astar_tree = astar_tree.add()

    # Add first element into the queue
    astar_queue.append(astar_tree)

    # Traverse all the elements of the queue
    while astar_queue:

        # Sort the element from the queue
        if len(astar_queue) > 1:
            astar_queue.sort(key=lambda x: sortByHeuristic(x))

        # Get the first node from the queue
        astar_child_object = astar_queue.pop(0)
        astar_child_state = astar_child_object.elementName

        # get all legal actions for the current node
        current_actions = astar_child_state.getLegalPacmanActions()

        if current_actions:

            # get all the successor state for these actions
            for action in current_actions:

                # Get the successor of the current node
                next_state = astar_child_state.generatePacmanSuccessor(action)

                if next_state:

                    # evaluate the successor states using scoreEvaluation heuristic
                    element_scored = [(admissibleHeuristic(next_state), action)]

                    # Increase the level for the child
                    parent_tree_level = astar_tree.goto(astar_child_state)
                    if parent_tree_level:
                        astar_tree_level = parent_tree_level.treeLevel + 1
                    else:
                        astar_tree_level += 1

                    # create tree for the finding the data
                    astar_tree.elementName = next_state
                    astar_tree.elementParent = astar_child_state
                    astar_tree.elementScore = element_scored
                    astar_tree.elementPath.append(astar_child_state)
                    astar_tree.treeLevel = astar_tree_level
                    astar_object = astar_tree.add()

                    # If the state exists then add that to the queue
                    astar_queue.append(astar_object)

                else:
                    # Update the value leaf into the queue
                    astar_leaf_state = astar_tree.goto(astar_child_state)
                    astar_leaf_queue.append(astar_leaf_state)

你可以从对象中添加/删除任何元素，但要使结构为完整的。

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')])])

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。

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")
