    <p>What is your preferred method of traversing a tree data structure, since recursive method calls can be pretty inefficient in some circumstances. I am simply using a generator like the one above. Do you have any hints to make it faster?</p> <pre><code>def children(self): stack = [self.entities] while stack: for e in stack.pop(): yield e if e.entities: stack.append(e.entities) </code></pre> <p>Here is some test data. The first one is recursive, the second uses the generator:</p> <pre><code>s = time.time() for i in range(100000): e.inc_counter() print time.time() - s s = time.time() for i in range(100000): for e in e.children(): e.inc_counter_s() print time.time() - s </code></pre> <p>Results:</p> <pre><code>0.416000127792 0.298999786377 </code></pre> <p>Test code:</p> <pre><code>import random class Entity(): def __init__(self, name): self.entities = [] self.name = name self.counter = 1 self.depth = 0 def add_entity(self, e): e.depth = self.depth + 1 self.entities.append(e) def inc_counter_r(self): for e in self.entities: e.counter += 1 e.inc_counter_r() def children(self): stack = [self.entities] while stack: for e in stack.pop(): yield e if e.entities: stack.append(e.entities) root = Entity("main") def fill_node(root, max_depth): if root.depth &lt;= max_depth: for i in range(random.randint(10, 15)): e = Entity("node_%s_%s" % (root.depth, i)) root.add_entity(e) fill_node(e, max_depth) fill_node(root, 3) import time s = time.time() for i in range(100): root.inc_counter_r() print "recursive:", time.time() - s s = time.time() for i in range(100): for e in root.children(): e.counter += 1 print "generator:", time.time() - s </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
