Cartesian product of a dictionary of lists

Question

I\'m trying to write some code to test out the Cartesian product of a bunch of input parameters.

I\'ve looked at itertools, but its product

Answer 1

By the way, this is not a permutation. A permutation is a rearrangement of a list. This is an enumeration of possible selections from lists.

Edit: after remembering that it was called a Cartesian product, I came up with this:

import itertools
options = {"number": [1,2,3], "color": ["orange","blue"] }
product = [x for x in apply(itertools.product, options.values())]
print [dict(zip(options.keys(), p)) for p in product]
