Package
Using tree data structures is made easy with anytree package. It makes it simple to build, navigate, and visualise trees.
pip install anytree
Create Node
To create a tree in anytree, you start by defining nodes. We create a root node and then add two child nodes to it.
from anytree import Node, RenderTree
root = Node('A')
node1 = Node('B', parent=root)
node2 = Node('C', parent=root)
for pre, fill, node in RenderTree(root):
print(pre, node.name)
"""
A
├── B
└── C
"""
Delete Node
The node is deleted from the tree when you set parent to None.
from anytree import Node, RenderTree
root = Node('A')
node2 = Node('B', parent=root)
node3 = Node('C', parent=root)
node4 = Node('D', parent=node2)
node5 = Node('E', parent=node3)
node6 = Node('F', parent=node3)
node7 = Node('G', parent=node5)
node8 = Node('H', parent=node5)
print("Tree:")
for pre, fill, node in RenderTree(root):
print(pre, node.name)
# Delete node 'C' and its descendants
node3.parent = None
print("Tree after deletion:")
[print(pre,node.name) for pre,_,node in RenderTree(root)];
