Raymond Hettinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Problems with product(): It is dreadfully inefficient compared to a good implementation of factorial. It has the same name a new itertool with much different functionality. The hyper-generalization takes us further away from the OP's dirt simple request for a piece of functionality that is widely understood, frequently reimplemented, and has a near zero learning curve. If his request is accepted, it does not preclude you from making some other module with tons of functions of interest to encryption people, number theorists, and statisticians.
