Doh. Thanks. This does the trick, but it gives me the instance location. I
assumed this is because there is no __str__ method defined, but when I
added a __str__ method it didn't change anything. Probably didn't implement
the __str__ method correctly, but since I didn't even get an error, not
sure this was even the problem. (Pretty sure, for example, that I shouldn't
always be referencing the head node.)
def __str__(self):
return "Node letter is %s" % (self.root[0])
for c in mytrie.items():
print c
...:
<bound method Trie.items of <trie.Trie instance at 0x1010dc710>>
<bound method Trie.items of <trie.Trie instance at 0x1010dca70>>
thanks again,
Maria
