Hello!
The following will only work with Python 2.6 or higher. Is this what you are looking for?
import csv, itertools
def makePerms(csvFileName, values, n_vars, verbose = False):
with open(csvFileName, "wb") as f:
csv_writer = csv.writer(f, delimiter = "\t")
for cnt, element in enumerate(itertools.product(values, repeat = n_vars)):
csv_writer.writerow(element)
if verbose and cnt % 10**5 == 0:
print "... Writing record %s" % cnt
print "Done: %s records written" % cnt
makePerms("d:/temp/perms.csv", range(7), 8, True)
There's also an itertools.permutations function, but I think you need the above.
Cheers!!

I am wanting to generate data for all permutations of n variables each of which can have any value from 1 through j inclusive. For example, for n=8 variables and j=7 values (that is, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7) the number of permutations with replacement will equal 7 to the 8th power, or 7*7*7*7*7*7*7*7 = 5,764,801 permutations. Note that I'm after permutations and not combinations. Ideally I'm wanting a macro where n and j can take on any value but I would settle for a macro where n = 10 and j = 7.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
