This situation rather intrigues me at what I'll call a managerial level. I'm sympathetic to the possibility that Lory might have a life where compilation and script-launching and our other commonplaces are very remote; I salute him or her for recognizing that string permutation is indeed a feasible goal for a simple .EXE. I know *I* sometimes am in the situation of not having a useful Windows installation of a C compiler, or adequate Java environment, or ..., and I lean on the kindnesss o strangers at least temporarily. At the same time, there's little incentive for comp.lang.python to take on the burden of application development for transients in Pythonia. Lory, we can walk you through the "at least install Python" part Mr. Zenger mentions above in ten minutes; truly, it'll take less time than it would to negotiate delivery of a special-purpose executable for you. I remain curious: how'd you come to Python for your need? Is there some particular reason--most likely, that you're a potential Python student yourself--that we should help you? Is there a reason--that this is an assignment you're to do on your own?--that we should *not*? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

There is some fine permutation code in the cookbook. Take a look at http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/190465 . You can easily code something like: # xcombinations from the cookbook def xcombinations(items, n): if n==0: yield [] else: for i in xrange(len(items)): for cc in xcombinations(items[:i]+items[i+1:],n-1): yield [items[i]]+cc wordlist = ['HOUSE','jolly','---','0&','99'] for i in xrange(1, len(wordlist)+1): for g in xcombinations(wordlist, i): print "".join(g) > Unfortunately I am not able to program it myself, so > I would appreciate if someone could write this piece of > software, compile it (for DOS or Windows) and send the .exe file to: > > lory88 at gmail . com Meet us halfway, here. At least install Python. Also, it's a dangerous world out there. Don't run .exe s sent to you by people you don't know. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hi I hope someone can help me out with a very SIMPLE program about whole string permutations. That is: given a list of strings, the required outcome is a complete set of all their possible permutations. It's like character permutations of a string, but this time it is whole strings instead of single characters that have to be permuted. I need this because I don't remember exactly the password to open my zipped archives, but i do remember the bits of strings that made up the long passphrase. Could someone kindly write a simple program that, after reading a set of strings contained in a .txt file (one string on each line), produces as output another .txt file containing all the possible permutations/combinations of those strings. For example, the text file with the set of strings may contain: HOUSE jolly --- 0& 99 and the output file contains: HOUSE HOUSEjolly HOUSE--- HOUSE0& and so on... ...with the word combinations growing extensively, so as to exhaust all the possibilities: e.g. ---99jolly0& jolly0&---99HOUSE etc. etc. Unfortunately I am not able to program it myself, so I would appreciate if someone could write this piece of software, compile it (for DOS or Windows) and send the .exe file to: lory88 at gmail . com I thank you all in advance.
