Hi, I'm looking to generate x alphabetic strings in a list size x. This is exactly the same output that the unix command "split" generates as default file name output when splitting large files.
Example: produce x original, but not random strings from english alphabet, all lowercase. The length of each string and possible combinations is dependent on x. You don't want any repeats. [aaa, aab, aac, aad, .... aax, ...... bbc, bbd, .... bcd] I'm assumming there is a slick, pythonic way of doing this, besides writing out a beast of a looping function. I've looked around on activestate cookbook, but have come up empty handed. Any suggestions? Thanks, Conor -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
