Re: Most elegant way to generate 3-char sequence

I have found that the more elegant the code is, the harder it is for me to understand what it is trying to accomplish. It is my opinion that "Keep It Simple" wins over elegance. When I have had the urge to get elegant, I make sure I comment the elegance so my less elegant co-workers can figure out

I'm not sure if you ever got a good answer. I for one am too lazy to look up the pages I found... but - check out http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/search?query=combinations§ion=PYTHONCKBK&type=Subsection Tons of nice recipes... Personally I liked the one that dynamically generated a nested functi

Most elegant way to generate 3-char sequence

Hi all, I wish to generate a sequence of the form 'aaa', 'aab', aac' 'aba', 'abb', 'abc' etc. all the way to 'zzz'. How would you construct a generator to acheive this? A simple, working but somewhat inelegant solution is... alpha = ['a','b','c','d'] #shortened for brevity alpha2 = ['a','b'
