How to Traverse an NLTK Tree object?

by

Maybe I’m overlooking things, but is this what you’re after?

import nltk
s="(ROOT (S (NP (NNP Europe)) (VP (VBZ is) (PP (IN in) (NP (DT the) (JJ same) (NNS trends)))) (. .)))"
tree = nltk.tree.Tree.fromstring(s)
def traverse_tree(tree):
    # print("tree:", tree)
    for subtree in tree:
        if type(subtree) == nltk.tree.Tree:
            traverse_tree(subtree)
traverse_tree(tree)

It traverses your tree depth-first.
