[issue28244] Incorrect Example in itertools.product description

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

The comments in the docs are necessarily terse and communicate the pattern of 
pairings.  It would not be an improvement to actually list out all the tuples.  

Sorry if this caused you any confusion, but I prefer to leave the comments as 
they are now.

[issue28244] Incorrect Example in itertools.product description

[Matthew Ekstrand-Abueg]

New submission from Matthew Ekstrand-Abueg:

Documentation states:

# product('ABCD', 'xy') --> Ax Ay Bx By Cx Cy Dx Dy
# product(range(2), repeat=3) --> 000 001 010 011 100 101 110 

But:

>>> list(itertools.product('ABCD','xy'))
[('A', 'x'), ('A', 'y'), ('B', 'x'), ('B', 'y'), ('C', 'x'), ('C', 'y'), ('D', 
'x'), ('D', 'y')]
