Perhaps you could show how to generate the pairs you want given (say) a small list of names. Let us call them A, B, C, D and E (five people), taken three at a time? (1) Can you write out all the possible lists for n=3 (the maximum)? Assuming order does not matter, I get ten lists: A B C A B D A B E A C D A C E A D E B C D B C E B D E C D E (2) Can you show what you mean by "compatible and noncompatible attributes", and use them to "reduce the maximum of possible lists"? How do you decide which of the ten above are allowed and which are not? -- Steve _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
