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)

      tree[c]["bi"].append(ballotIndex)

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')])])

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]

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

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。

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。

创建的树可以被渲染:

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=[])
