Dennis Sweeney <[email protected]> added the comment:
How is proposed_function("abcd", max_repeat=3) any different from what you can
currently spell as combinations("aaabbbcccddd") ? Or, more generally,
def proposed_function(it, repeats)
repeated = chain.from_iterable([x] * repeat for x in it)
return combinations(repeated)
This can easily generalize to specifying the max count of each item.
