Slightly clearer: p=lambda a,n:[ ''.join( y ) for y in eval('[(%s) %s]'%(','.join(['x %i'%i for i in range(n)]),' '.join(['for x%i in a'%i for i in range(n)])))] p('abc',2) #fb: ['aa', 'ab', 'ac', 'ba', 'bb', 'bc', 'ca', 'cb', 'cc'] len(p('13579',3)) #fb: 125 edit() where for n=4: ('[(%s) %s]'%(','.join(['x%i'%i for i in range(n)]),' '.join(['for x%i in a'%i for i in range(n)]))) #fb: '[(x0,x1,x2,x3) for x0 in a for x1 in a for x2 in a for x3 in a]' -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
