[Solved] python list permutations [duplicate]

Question

itertools.permutations does this for you.

Otherwise, a simple method consist in finding the permutations recursively: you successively select the first element of the output, then ask your function to find all the permutations of the remaining elements.

A slightly different, but similar solution can be found at https://stackoverflow.com/a/104436/42973. It finds all the permutations of the remaining (non-first) elements, and then inserts the first element successively at all the possible locations.
