Python不像Java那样具有相当广泛的“内置”数据结构。但是，因为Python是动态的，所以很容易创建通用树。例如，二叉树可能是:

class Tree:
    def __init__(self):
        self.left = None
        self.right = None
        self.data = None

你可以这样使用它:

root = Tree()
root.data = "root"
root.left = Tree()
root.left.data = "left"
root.right = Tree()
root.right.data = "right"

如果每个节点需要任意数量的子节点，则使用子节点列表:

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]

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:

    def __init__(self, name, identifier=None, expanded=True):
        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):
        return self.__bpointer

    @bpointer.setter
    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))
        elif mode is _INSERT:
            self.__fpointer = [sanitize_id(identifier)]

class Tree:

    def __init__(self):
        self.nodes = []

    def get_index(self, position):
        for index, node in enumerate(self.nodes):
            if node.identifier == position:
                break
        return index

    def create_node(self, name, identifier=None, parent=None):

        node = Node(name, identifier)
        self.nodes.append(node)
        self.__update_fpointer(parent, node.identifier, _ADD)
        node.bpointer = parent
        return node

    def show(self, position, level=_ROOT):
        queue = self[position].fpointer
        if level == _ROOT:
            print("{0} [{1}]".format(self[position].name,
                                     self[position].identifier))
        else:
            print("\t"*level, "{0} [{1}]".format(self[position].name,
                                                 self[position].identifier))
        if self[position].expanded:
            level += 1
            for element in queue:
                self.show(element, level)  # recursive call

    def expand_tree(self, position, mode=_DEPTH):
        # Python generator. Loosly based on an algorithm from 'Essential LISP' by
        # John R. Anderson, Albert T. Corbett, and Brian J. Reiser, page 239-241
        yield position
        queue = self[position].fpointer
        while queue:
            yield queue[0]
            expansion = self[queue[0]].fpointer
            if mode is _DEPTH:
                queue = expansion + queue[1:]  # depth-first
            elif mode is _WIDTH:
                queue = queue[1:] + expansion  # width-first

    def is_branch(self, position):
        return self[position].fpointer

    def __update_fpointer(self, position, identifier, mode):
        if position is None:
            return
        else:
            self[position].update_fpointer(identifier, mode)

    def __update_bpointer(self, position, identifier):
        self[position].bpointer = identifier

    def __getitem__(self, key):
        return self.nodes[self.get_index(key)]

    def __setitem__(self, key, item):
        self.nodes[self.get_index(key)] = item

    def __len__(self):
        return len(self.nodes)

    def __contains__(self, identifier):
        return [node.identifier for node in self.nodes
                if node.identifier is identifier]

if __name__ == "__main__":

    tree = Tree()
    tree.create_node("Harry", "harry")  # root node
    tree.create_node("Jane", "jane", parent = "harry")
    tree.create_node("Bill", "bill", parent = "harry")
    tree.create_node("Joe", "joe", parent = "jane")
    tree.create_node("Diane", "diane", parent = "jane")
    tree.create_node("George", "george", parent = "diane")
    tree.create_node("Mary", "mary", parent = "diane")
    tree.create_node("Jill", "jill", parent = "george")
    tree.create_node("Carol", "carol", parent = "jill")
    tree.create_node("Grace", "grace", parent = "bill")
    tree.create_node("Mark", "mark", parent = "jane")

    print("="*80)
    tree.show("harry")
    print("="*80)
    for node in tree.expand_tree("harry", mode=_WIDTH):
        print(node)
    print("="*80)

另一个基于Bruno回答的树的实现:

class Node:
    def __init__(self):
        self.name: str = ''
        self.children: List[Node] = []
        self.parent: Node = self

    def __getitem__(self, i: int) -> 'Node':
        return self.children[i]

    def add_child(self):
        child = Node()
        self.children.append(child)
        child.parent = self
        return child

    def __str__(self) -> str:
        def _get_character(x, left, right) -> str:
            if x < left:
                return '/'
            elif x >= right:
                return '\\'
            else:
                return '|'

        if len(self.children):
            children_lines: Sequence[List[str]] = list(map(lambda child: str(child).split('\n'), self.children))
            widths: Sequence[int] = list(map(lambda child_lines: len(child_lines[0]), children_lines))
            max_height: int = max(map(len, children_lines))
            total_width: int = sum(widths) + len(widths) - 1
            left: int = (total_width - len(self.name) + 1) // 2
            right: int = left + len(self.name)

            return '\n'.join((
                self.name.center(total_width),
                ' '.join(map(lambda width, position: _get_character(position - width // 2, left, right).center(width),
                             widths, accumulate(widths, add))),
                *map(
                    lambda row: ' '.join(map(
                        lambda child_lines: child_lines[row] if row < len(child_lines) else ' ' * len(child_lines[0]),
                        children_lines)),
                    range(max_height))))
        else:
            return self.name

还有一个如何使用它的例子:

tree = Node()
tree.name = 'Root node'
tree.add_child()
tree[0].name = 'Child node 0'
tree.add_child()
tree[1].name = 'Child node 1'
tree.add_child()
tree[2].name = 'Child node 2'
tree[1].add_child()
tree[1][0].name = 'Grandchild 1.0'
tree[2].add_child()
tree[2][0].name = 'Grandchild 2.0'
tree[2].add_child()
tree[2][1].name = 'Grandchild 2.1'
print(tree)

它应该输出:

                        Root node                        
     /             /                      \              
Child node 0  Child node 1           Child node 2        
                   |              /              \       
             Grandchild 1.0 Grandchild 2.0 Grandchild 2.1

嗨，你可以试试itertree(我是作者)。

该包与任何树包的方向相同，但关注点略有不同。在巨大的树(>100000个项目)上的性能要好得多，它处理迭代器具有有效的过滤机制。

>>>from itertree import *
>>>root=iTree('root')

>>># add some children:
>>>root.append(iTree('Africa',data={'surface':30200000,'inhabitants':1257000000}))
>>>root.append(iTree('Asia', data={'surface': 44600000, 'inhabitants': 4000000000}))
>>>root.append(iTree('America', data={'surface': 42549000, 'inhabitants': 1009000000}))
>>>root.append(iTree('Australia&Oceania', data={'surface': 8600000, 'inhabitants': 36000000}))
>>>root.append(iTree('Europe', data={'surface': 10523000 , 'inhabitants': 746000000}))
>>># you might use __iadd__ operator for adding too:
>>>root+=iTree('Antarktika', data={'surface': 14000000, 'inhabitants': 1100})

>>># for building next level we select per index:
>>>root[0]+=iTree('Ghana',data={'surface':238537,'inhabitants':30950000})
>>>root[0]+=iTree('Niger', data={'surface': 1267000, 'inhabitants': 23300000})
>>>root[1]+=iTree('China', data={'surface': 9596961, 'inhabitants': 1411780000})
>>>root[1]+=iTree('India', data={'surface': 3287263, 'inhabitants': 1380004000})
>>>root[2]+=iTree('Canada', data={'type': 'country', 'surface': 9984670, 'inhabitants': 38008005})    
>>>root[2]+=iTree('Mexico', data={'surface': 1972550, 'inhabitants': 127600000 })
>>># extend multiple items:
>>>root[3].extend([iTree('Australia', data={'surface': 7688287, 'inhabitants': 25700000 }), iTree('New Zealand', data={'surface': 269652, 'inhabitants': 4900000 })])
>>>root[4]+=iTree('France', data={'surface': 632733, 'inhabitants': 67400000 }))
>>># select parent per TagIdx - remember in itertree you might put items with same tag multiple times:
>>>root[TagIdx('Europe'0)]+=iTree('Finland', data={'surface': 338465, 'inhabitants': 5536146 })

创建的树可以被渲染:

>>>root.render()
iTree('root')
     └──iTree('Africa', data=iTData({'surface': 30200000, 'inhabitants': 1257000000}))
         └──iTree('Ghana', data=iTData({'surface': 238537, 'inhabitants': 30950000}))
         └──iTree('Niger', data=iTData({'surface': 1267000, 'inhabitants': 23300000}))
     └──iTree('Asia', data=iTData({'surface': 44600000, 'inhabitants': 4000000000}))

         └──iTree('Canada', data=iTData({'surface': 9984670, 'inhabitants': 38008005}))
         └──iTree('Mexico', data=iTData({'surface': 1972550, 'inhabitants': 127600000}))
     └──iTree('Australia&Oceania', data=iTData({'surface': 8600000, 'inhabitants': 36000000}))
         └──iTree('Australia', data=iTData({'surface': 7688287, 'inhabitants': 25700000}))
         └──iTree('New Zealand', data=iTData({'surface': 269652, 'inhabitants': 4900000}))
     └──iTree('Europe', data=iTData({'surface': 10523000, 'inhabitants': 746000000}))
         └──iTree('France', data=iTData({'surface': 632733, 'inhabitants': 67400000}))
         └──iTree('Finland', data=iTData({'surface': 338465, 'inhabitants': 5536146}))
     └──iTree('Antarktika', data=iTData({'surface': 14000000, 'inhabitants': 1100}))

过滤可以这样做:

>>>item_filter = Filter.iTFilterData(data_key='inhabitants', data_value=iTInterval(0, 20000000))
>>>iterator=root.iter_all(item_filter=item_filter)
>>>for i in iterator:
>>>    print(i)
iTree("'New Zealand'", data=iTData({'surface': 269652, 'inhabitants': 4900000}), subtree=[])
iTree("'Finland'", data=iTData({'surface': 338465, 'inhabitants': 5536146}), subtree=[])
iTree("'Antarktika'", data=iTData({'surface': 14000000, 'inhabitants': 1100}), subtree=[])

你可以试试:

from collections import defaultdict
def tree(): return defaultdict(tree)
users = tree()
users['harold']['username'] = 'hrldcpr'
users['handler']['username'] = 'matthandlersux'

建议在这里:https://gist.github.com/2012250

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。
