PerfectBacktrackHandle

class PerfectBacktrackHandle

Breadcrumb for perfectly backtracking a phylogenetic chain of descent.

Because only backwards references are held, Python garbage collection takes care of pruning away extinct lineages.

__init__(parent: PerfectBacktrackHandle = None, data: Any = None) → None[source]: Create backtracking breadcrumb, with parent as preceding breadcrumb in line of descent or None if associated with seed organism.
