This code is starting to look like it wants to work with a linked list.

>>> class node:
	def __init__(self,x):
		self.payload=x
		self.next=None
	def walk(self):
		print("My payload is: "+self.payload)
		if self.next: self.next.walk()

>>> head=tail=node("This")
>>> tail.next=tail=node("is")
>>> tail.next=tail=node("a")
>>> tail.next=tail=node("test.")
>>> head.walk()
My payload is: This
My payload is: is
My payload is: a
My payload is: test.
