data structure to represent remote directory tree

i'm writing my own data structure to represent the directory/file tree i get from the metadata() call on the SDK, and was wondering what everyone else uses for this.

The actual data structure returned by the call is very poor. It lacks even handles to the child nodes, etc.

I'm using python, but i think this discussion is independent of language.
