My doubt now is whether I can change the way python show the
combinations.
Python will display the compbinations however you tell it to.
The function generates the combinations the display is up to you.
In this case you are simply printing the results as they come.
But you can put them in a list if you prefer.
prodList = []
for prod in itertools.product('abc', repeat=3):
... prodList.append(prod)
...
print prodList
You can manipulate prod however you like before putting it inthe list.
Once you have the list you can sort that list to get anyorder you
want.
And once you have your soted and formatted list you can print it out
using whatever formatting you want.
It is always good to separate the generation of data fropm the
storage of data from the display of data.
I have checked how the function works (see below), perhaps I have to
just
change couple of lines of the code and voilá, the result displayed
as I
want... But unfortunately I'm too newbie for this, or this is too
hardcore:
Its hardly ever a good idea to modify the standard library functions.
You can write a wrapper around them if you like - and indeed thats
normal.
But changing them is almost always a very bad idea!
def myProduct(*args, **kwds):
# do something with input data
# call itertools.product(args, kwds)
# do something with the output
# return a result
