If you're using Python 2.6 (or 3.1), you might find the itertools
module helpful:
Python 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Aug 26 2009, 09:40:44)
[GCC 4.2.1 (SUSE Linux)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import itertools
>>> for p in itertools.permutations('abc', 2): print zip([1,2], p)
...
[(1, 'a'), (2, 'b')]
[(1, 'a'), (2, 'c')]
[(1, 'b'), (2, 'a')]
[(1, 'b'), (2, 'c')]
[(1, 'c'), (2, 'a')]
[(1, 'c'), (2, 'b')]
