generating a tree-like structure

Hi,

This is a fairly general question: is there some kind of module or
framework that allows building a tree like structure from certain kind
of data?

To be specific: I have a program that dumps the content of a LDAP
directory including all properties and values and groups the result
from the LDAP search by objClass.

Now I was thinking: would it be possible to generate from the totally
unordered output that the LDAP server gives me, a tree like
representation that displays the hierarchy (omitting the values or
even properties if necessary)?

It should be a textual representation of what you see in GUI programs
like "LDAP Administrator" but the output should be represented like
the "tree" program in Linux or Windows "tree.com".

Any ideas appreciated...
