I have a list of defective CCD pixels and I need to find clusters
where a cluster is a group of adjacent defective pixels. This seems to
me to be a classic linked list tree search.I take a pixel from the
defective list and check if an adjacent pixel is in the list. If it is
I add the pixel to the cluster and remove it from the defective list.
I then check an adjacent pixel of the new pixel and so on down the
branch until I don't find a defective pixel. The I move up to the
previous pixel and check the next adjacent pixel  and so on until I'm
back at the head I can't find any more defective adjacent pixels. How
do you handle this sort of thing in Python?

I'd do something like (code not tested):

defective_list = [(x1, y1), (x2, y2), ...]   #list of coordinates of
                                             #defective pixel
#build one cluster:
cluster_start = defective_list.pop()         #starting point
buf = []                                     #buffer for added pixels
buf.push(cluster_start)
cluster = []
cluster.push(cluster_start)
while len(buf)>0:
    i = buf.pop()
    for b, d in itertools.product(xrange(2), [-1,1]):  #4 neighbours
        j = list(i)
        j[b] += d
        j = tuple(j)
        if outside_lcd(j) or j in cluster or j not in defective_list:
            continue
        defective_list.remove(j)
        cluster.push(j)
        buf.push(j)
return cluster

and repeat it until defective_list is empty.
