Yes, in SciPy. Alan Isaac >>> from scipy.misc.common import comb >>> help(comb) Help on function comb in module scipy.misc.common: comb(N, k, exact=0) Combinations of N things taken k at a time. If exact==0, then floating point precision is used, otherwise exact long integer is computed. Notes: - Array arguments accepted only for exact=0 case. - If k > N, N < 0, or k < 0, then a 0 is returned. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
