How to tack on value with Binary Search Tree

Question

I am working with a binary search tree in Python 3.2.3 and here are my two files (given from teacher) for creating the binary search tree.

But first I will explain the problem I am having. First I am reading in the file and attaching the new words to the BST with the movie titles as their values. However I am having problems on what to do with my else statement. I believe I need to attach that word that is already in the Binary search tree, Lets say "A" because it appears alot and attach it to another value of a movie title so that one key is attached to multiple values.

I don't know how to go about it and it is where the else statement is in my Read function. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

My Code that I need help with:

from binary_search_tree import BinarySearchTree
from tree_node import TreeNode

MovieTree = BinarySearchTree()
MovieList = []

def Read(filename):
    file = open('movieData.txt')
    for line in file:
        line = line.strip()
        words = line.lower().split(' ')
        for word in words:
            if word not in MovieTree:
                MovieTree.put(word, [line])
            else:
                pass
                #attach word that is already in BST to another value
                # which is this case is a movie title.

def Main():
    Read('movieData.txt')
    #print(MovieTree)
    #print (MovieList)

Main()

Answer 1

If I understand the requirement correctly, I think you want MovieTree.get(word).append(line)

The get(word) part returns a list of titles associated with that word (ie the payload from the matching word in the binary search tree), and .append(line) adds line onto the end of the list.
