I think you want to use combinations_with_replacement: >>> var = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']
>>> length=int(raw_input("enter the length of random letters you need ")) enter the length of random letters you need 2 >>> length 2 >>> from itertools import combinations_with_replacement >>> [''.join(s) for s in combinations_with_replacement(var, 2)] ['aa', 'ab', 'ac', 'ad', 'ae', 'bb', 'bc', 'bd', 'be', 'cc', 'cd', 'ce', 'dd', 'de', 'ee'] On Wed, Feb 4, 2015 at 12:38 PM, Alan Gauld <alan.ga...@btinternet.com> wrote: > On 04/02/15 09:46, Suresh Kumar wrote: > > print var >>>>> >>>> ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'] >> > > the user gave two so code should be like this >> >>> for i in itertools.product(var,var): >>>>> >>>> print i[0]+i[1] >> > > output of code should be like this >> aa >> ab >> > ... > >> ee >> > > based on the user given input of length i need to add var in for loop >> if 3 given >> >>> for i in itertools.product(var,var,var): >>>>> >>>> print i[0]+i[1]+i[2] >> > > OK, So the question is how to pass n copies of var to product()? > > You could do it by enclosing var in an outer list or tuple, then unpacking > the result in the call to product(): > > Untested... > > for i in itertools.product(*((var,) * n)): > print ''.join(i) > > Does that work? > > > > -- > Alan G > Author of the Learn to Program web site > http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ > http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld > Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: > http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos > > > _______________________________________________ > Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor > _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
