But I didn't know that python 2.6 incorporated itertools.product (I use 2.5, and didn't search hard enough) I agree that itertools.product is a perfectly nice solution > +1 on the "if" and (possibly) "while" conditional looping. > -1 on shorthand nested for. same thing here, now that I know about itertools.product -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
