Why do you need a linked list? That's an implementation detail; why
not simply use a regular list?

Not trolling, genuinely asking. Is there something that you
specifically need those exact structures for?

Also: You may find what you want on PyPI. There's no need for them to
be in the core language if they can be published as third-party
modules.
