The most practical lesser known types for my day to day programming are:
- element trees (etrees), partiocularly lxml implementation. Simple insert and append operations at xpaths (eg /body/html/table/tr[3]/td[7]), iterating over children, accessing element properties as object properties.
- dependency graphs (aka graphs). I have no idea why they're called graphs (I did business, not CS) but anywhere you have dependencies to store and work out (say for a project management app, or a packaging tool) these are the best fit.
