consider a nested loop algorithm -

for i in range(100):
       for j in range(100):
           do_something(i,j)

Now, suppose I don't want to use i = 0 and j = 0 as initial values, but
some other values i = N and j = M, and I want to iterate through all
10,000 values in sequence - is there a neat python-like way to this?

        for i in range(N,N+100):
            for j in range(M,M+100):
                do_something(i,j)

Or did you mean something else?

no, I meant something else ..

    j runs through range(M, 100) and then range(0,M), and i runs through
range(N,100) and then range(0,N)

In 2.x:

     for i in range(M,100)+range(0,M):
         for j in range(N,100)+range(0,N):
             do_something(i,j)

Dunno if that still works in 3.x.  I doubt it, since I think in 3.x
range returns an iterator, not?

Indeed it doesn't work in 3.x, but this does:

     from itertools import chain

     for i in chain(range(M,100),range(0,M)):
         for j in chain(range(N,100),range(0,N)):
             do_something(i,j)


 ah, that looks good - I guess it works in 2.x as well?
