python classes

OK, say I need to create an application that simulates a
family tree.  Each member may have a mom dad and kids.

I need to create a family tree class that contains a
collection of these member class objects and methods for
adding branches, removing members, etc...

I'm mainly having a hard time figuring how to join the
members if that makes sense.

I've got something like...

class member(object):
   
    def __init__(self):
       member.kid = self[0]
       member.dad = self[1]
       etc...


class familyTree(object):

    def __init___(self):
        for m in mlist:
            try:
                m = member(m)

blah blah blah


How to I make the familytree class contain a
collection of member class objects?

With all your fan mail I'm surprised you're so touchy. Anyway, my problem had nothing to do with man pages so that doesn't even make any sense.  Do _you_ know what a man page is? And I'm aware that programming is heavily abstract. I guess I'm just too simple to know about all that fancy philosophy and stuff you get with your stanford phd. I'm a simple guy.  I code.  I want to code better.  That's all.  That you get so upset over a simple question really says a lot about the value of all the stuff you know.  Stuff "I'll never be able to comprehend".

And I don't feel bad for bringing a programming question to prog.  That so many keystrokes are wasted on flaming me for being a learner should make you stop and think though.
