Lookup "Cartesian Product".
Any pointers as to how one would go about
solving something like this would be greatly appreciated.
for a in [True,False]:
for b in [True,False]:
for c in [1,2,3,4]:
print 'combined settings:',a,'\t',b,'\t',c
This has been added to itertools at least for 2.6/3.0
>>> import itertools as it
>>> for prod in it.product((True,False), (True,False), (1,2,3,4)):
print(prod) # or run test
(True, True, 1)
(True, True, 2)
(True, True, 3)
(True, True, 4)
(True, False, 1)
(True, False, 2)
(True, False, 3)
(True, False, 4)
(False, True, 1)
(False, True, 2)
(False, True, 3)
(False, True, 4)
(False, False, 1)
(False, False, 2)
(False, False, 3)
(False, False, 4)
The sequences of sequences can, of course, be a variable:
>>> options = ((True,False), (True,False), (1,2,3,4))
>>> for prod in it.product(*options): print(prod)
does the same thing. So you can change 'options' without changing the
test runner.
