Example

A simple tree, with text nodes

from nutree import Tree, Node

tree = Tree("Store")

n = tree.add("Records")

n.add("Let It Be")
n.add("Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!")

n = tree.add("Books")
n.add("The Little Prince")

tree.print()

Tree<'Store'>
├─── 'Records'
│    ├─── 'Let It Be'
│    ╰─── "Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!"
╰─── 'Books'
     ╰─── 'The Little Prince'

Tree nodes wrap the data and also expose methods for navigation, searching, iteration, ...

records_node = tree["Records"]
assert isinstance(records_node, Node)
assert records_node.name == "Records"

print(records_node.first_child())

Node<'Let It Be', data_id=510268653885439170>

Nodes may be strings or arbitrary objects:

alice = Person("Alice", age=23, guid="{123-456}")
tree.add(alice)

# Lookup nodes by object, data_id, name pattern, ...
assert isinstance(tree[alice].data, Person)

del tree[alice]
