Example 1: python all possible combinations of multiple lists
>>> import itertools
>>> a = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9,10]]
>>> list(itertools.product(*a))
[(1, 4, 7), (1, 4, 8), (1, 4, 9), (1, 4, 10), (1, 5, 7), (1, 5, 8), (1, 5, 9), (1, 5, 10), (1, 6, 7), (1, 6, 8), (1, 6, 9), (1, 6, 10), (2, 4, 7), (2, 4, 8), (2, 4, 9), (2, 4, 10), (2, 5, 7), (2, 5, 8), (2, 5, 9), (2, 5, 10), (2, 6, 7), (2, 6, 8), (2, 6, 9), (2, 6, 10), (3, 4, 7), (3, 4, 8), (3, 4, 9), (3, 4, 10), (3, 5, 7), (3, 5, 8), (3, 5, 9), (3, 5, 10), (3, 6, 7), (3, 6, 8), (3, 6, 9), (3, 6, 10)]
Example 2: get all combinations from two lists python
a = ["foo", "melon"]
b = [True, False]
c = list(itertools.product(a, b))
>> [("foo", True), ("foo", False), ("melon", True), ("melon", False)]
Example 3: python get all combinations of list
itertools.combinations(iterable, r)
Example 4: how to get all possible combinations in python
all_combinations = [list(zip(each_permutation, list2)) for each_permutation in itertools.permutations(list1, len(list2))]
Example 5: how to find a combination of all elements in a python list
import itertools
stuff = [1, 2, 3]
for L in range(0, len(stuff)+1):
for subset in itertools.combinations(stuff, L):
print(subset)
Example 6: python combinations function
def combinations(iterable, r):
pool = tuple(iterable)
n = len(pool)
for indices in permutations(range(n), r):
if sorted(indices) == list(indices):
yield tuple(pool[i] for i in indices)
