Why do you need to? Linked lists, trees, and so on are just tools.
They're usually used to implement data structures like mappings,
growable arrays, lists that can have elements inserted into them, etc,
etc. Python does these sorts of things in better ways. You should not
need to worry about memory locations, pointers, etc. Now, if you want
to have one object reference another, that can be done in plenty of
ways. Check the Python tutorial.
