Iterate over top two levels of Treeview nodes?

[Taytoo]

Have a Treeview with 3 levels, is there a simple way to iterate in a single loop over the top two levels:

• Node 1
  -> Node 2
  --> Node 3
• Node 4
• Node 5
  -> Node 6
  --> Node 7

Need to loop over Nodes: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6

for node0 in topLevelNodes:
    doSomething(node0)
    for node1 in node0.children:
        doSomething(node1)

@JonB That's what I'm doing currently. Was hoping there was a better way to get nodes of n-levels as a singular list and iterate over them.

It is possible by using a different representation of the tree. It is not immediately straightforward though. Typically trees can be 'linearized' by keeping a left:right traversal index (the so-called "nested set model").

There is, but that is not what you asked for. You wrote:

My answer would not scale for n-levels. Nor would it be right for "visit every node which is not a leaf". One would probably do either of those recursively. And it would not be a "single loop", which I now notice but did not before, if that is what is vital to you. So you have to state exactly what it is you are looking for.
