I think that itertools may be able to do what I want but I have not
been able to figure out how.

A recursive generator suffices.

I want to convert an arbitrary number of lists with an arbitrary
number of elements in each list into a single list as follows.

Say I have three lists:

[[A0,A1,A2], [B0,B1,B2] [C0,C1,C2]]

I would like to convert those to a single list that looks like this:

[A0,B0,C0,C1,C2,B1,C0,C1,C2,B2,C0,C1,C2,
>  A1,B0,C0,C1,C2,B1,C0,C1,C2,B2,C0,C1,C2,
>  A2,B0,C0,C1,C2,B1,C0,C1,C2,B2,C0,C1,C2]

def crossflat(lofl):
    if lofl:
        first = lofl.pop(0)
        for o in first:
           yield o
           yield from crossflat(lofl.copy())

A0, A1, A2 = 100, 101, 102
B0, B1, B2 = 10, 11, 12
C0, C1, C2 = 0, 1, 2
LL = [[A0, A1, A2], [B0, B1, B2], [C0, C1, C2]]
cfLL = list(crossflat(LL))
print(cfLL)
assert cfLL == [
   A0, B0, C0, C1, C2, B1, C0, C1, C2, B2, C0, C1, C2,
   A1, B0, C0, C1, C2, B1, C0, C1, C2, B2, C0, C1, C2,
   A2, B0, C0, C1, C2, B1, C0, C1, C2, B2, C0, C1, C2]

passes
