Good suggestions. Another useful function I'd like to see in
itertools is the Cartesian product. This can be implemented as:
def cartesian_product(*args):
"""Iterates over the Cartesian product of args[0], args[1], ..."""
if not args:
return
elif len(args) == 1:
for item in args[0]:
yield (item,)
else:
for item in args[0]:
for item2 in cartesian_product(*args[1:]):
yield (item,) + item2
