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。

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。

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

class Tree(dict):
    """A tree implementation using python's autovivification feature."""
    def __missing__(self, key):
        value = self[key] = type(self)()
        return value

    #cast a (nested) dict to a (nested) Tree class
    def __init__(self, data={}):
        for k, data in data.items():
            if isinstance(data, dict):
                self[k] = type(self)(data)
            else:
                self[k] = data

作为一个字典，但提供尽可能多的嵌套字典。 试试下面的方法:

your_tree = Tree()

your_tree['a']['1']['x']  = '@'
your_tree['a']['1']['y']  = '#'
your_tree['a']['2']['x']  = '$'
your_tree['a']['3']       = '%'
your_tree['b']            = '*'

将传递一个嵌套的字典…就像树一样。

{'a': {'1': {'x': '@', 'y': '#'}, '2': {'x': '$'}, '3': '%'}, 'b': '*'}

．.． 如果你已经有字典了，它会把每一层都投射到一棵树上:

d = {'foo': {'amy': {'what': 'runs'} } }
tree = Tree(d)

print(d['foo']['amy']['what']) # returns 'runs'
d['foo']['amy']['when'] = 'now' # add new branch

这样，你就可以随心所欲地编辑/添加/删除每个词典级别。 遍历等所有dict方法仍然适用。

你可以试试:

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