Cartesian product of large iterators (itertools)

Question

From a previous question I learned something interesting. If Python\'s itertools.product is fed a series of iterators, these iterators will be converted into tu

Answer 1

I'm sorry to up this topic but after spending hours debugging a program trying to iterate over recursively generated cartesian product of generators. I can tell you that none of the solutions above work if not working with constant numbers as in all the examples above.

Correction :

from itertools import tee

def product(*iterables, **kwargs):
    if len(iterables) == 0:
        yield ()
    else:
        iterables = iterables * kwargs.get('repeat', 1)
        it = iterables[0]
        for item in it() if callable(it) else iter(it):
            iterables_tee = list(map(tee, iterables[1:]))
            iterables[1:] = [it1 for it1, it2 in iterables_tee]
            iterable_copy = [it2 for it1, it2 in iterables_tee]
            for items in product(*iterable_copy):
                yield (item, ) + items

If your generators contain generators, you need to pass a copy to the recursive call.
