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。

您可以使用Python中的dataclasses模块创建Tree数据结构。

iter方法可用于使树可迭代，允许您通过改变yield语句的顺序来遍历树。

contains方法可用于检查树中是否存在特定值。

from dataclasses import dataclass

#               A
#              / \
#             B   C
#            / \   \
#           D   E   F
#          / \
#         G   H

@dataclass
class Node:
    data: str
    left: Node = None
    right: Node = None
    
    def __iter__(self):
        if self.left:
            yield from self.left
        
        yield self

        if self.right:
            yield from self.right

    def __contains__(self, other):
        for node in self:
            if node.data == other:
                return True
        return False
    

t = Node(
    'A', 
    Node(
        'B', 
        Node(
            'D', 
            Node('G'),
            Node('H'),
        ),
        Node('E'),
    ),  
    Node(
        'C', 
        right=Node('F'),
    ),
)
assert ('A' in t) is True
assert ('I' in t) is not True
for node in t:
    print(node.data, ' -> ', end='')
# G  -> D  -> H  -> B  -> E  -> A  -> C  -> F  -> 

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。

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

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')])])

我已经在我的网站https://web.archive.org/web/20120723175438/www.quesucede.com/page/show/id/python_3_tree_implementation上发布了一个Python 3树的实现

代码如下:

import uuid

def sanitize_id(id):
    return id.strip().replace(" ", "")

(_ADD, _DELETE, _INSERT) = range(3)
(_ROOT, _DEPTH, _WIDTH) = range(3)

class Node:

        self.__identifier = (str(uuid.uuid1()) if identifier is None else
                sanitize_id(str(identifier)))
        self.name = name
        self.expanded = expanded
        self.__bpointer = None
        self.__fpointer = []

    @property
    def identifier(self):
        return self.__identifier

    @property
    def bpointer(self):

    def bpointer(self, value):
        if value is not None:
            self.__bpointer = sanitize_id(value)

    @property
    def fpointer(self):
        return self.__fpointer

    def update_fpointer(self, identifier, mode=_ADD):
        if mode is _ADD:
            self.__fpointer.append(sanitize_id(identifier))
        elif mode is _DELETE:
            self.__fpointer.remove(sanitize_id(identifier))
