That should be itertools.combinations, of course. The idea is that to give a partition of e.g., a 5-element list into 3 nonempty pieces, all you have to do is say where to break the list. There are 4 possible places to break (between the 1st and 2nd elements, 2nd and 3rd, etc.), and you've got to make two breaks. Then combinations(range(1, 5), 2) generates all possible pairs of breaking points. Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
