How about itertools.combinations? import itertools s = "LEQN" for i in range(len(s)): for comb in itertools.combinations(s, i+1): print(comb) Output: ('L',) ('E',) ('Q',) ('N',) ('L', 'E') ('L', 'Q') ('L', 'N') ('E', 'Q') ('E', 'N') ('Q', 'N') ('L', 'E', 'Q') ('L', 'E', 'N') ('L', 'Q', 'N') ('E', 'Q', 'N') ('L', 'E', 'Q', 'N') For some reason I've got more 2-character combinations than you, though. -- Neil Cerutti -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
