Sorry Phillip, I'm closing this feature request because the benefits would 
likely be outweighed by the costs (maintenance, learning curve, module 
complexity, etc).  It was not the goal of the module to become a complete 
combinatorics toolkit; rather, the goal was to provide a set of practical tools 
for reasonably common needs (i.e. generating combinations of test case inputs).

You are invited to create a full-featured third-party combinatorics module and 
put it on PyPi. If the quality of the module is high, I will provide links to 
it from the itertools docs.  If the external module becomes popular 
(demonstrable user demand), I'll re-open this feature request for further 
discussion.
