<p>This recipe shows how to compute some simple list functions (functions that operate on lists) using simple recursive algorithms. Simple non-recursive algorithms exist for these tasks; this recipe is just for illustrative purposes. However, the principles described can be used for more complex recursive algorithms, for which non-recursive algorithms might be more complex than the recursive ones.</p>

<p>A small function that walks over pretty much any Python object and yields the objects contained within (if any) along with the path to reach them. I wrote it and am using it to validate a deserialized data-structure, but you can probably use it for many things.</p>
