I'm not sure lambda is the tool to use here. Doable, perhaps, but improbable in my book. > For example, for n=2, I want the function to look something like: > > def foo(2) > generate 2 sets of elements A, B > # mix elements by: > for a_elt in A > for b_elt in B > form all combinations of them > > If n=3, I want to have 3 sets of elements and mix them up using 3 for > loops.
