这里是另一个解决方案(一行程序)，涉及到使用itertools.combination函数，但这里我们使用了双链表理解式(而不是for循环或sum):

def combs(x):
    return [c for i in range(len(x)+1) for c in combinations(x,i)]

演示:

>>> combs([1,2,3,4])
[(), 
 (1,), (2,), (3,), (4,), 
 (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 4), 
 (1, 2, 3), (1, 2, 4), (1, 3, 4), (2, 3, 4), 
 (1, 2, 3, 4)]

来自itertools的组合

import itertools
col_names = ["aa","bb", "cc", "dd"]
all_combinations = itertools.chain(*[itertools.combinations(col_names,i+1) for i,_ in enumerate(col_names)])
print(list(all_combinations))

下面是一个“标准递归答案”，类似于其他类似的答案https://stackoverflow.com/a/23743696/711085。(实际上，我们不必担心耗尽堆栈空间，因为我们没有办法处理所有N!排列)。

它依次访问每个元素，要么取它，要么离开它(从这个算法中我们可以直接看到2^N的基数)。

def combs(xs, i=0):
    if i==len(xs):
        yield ()
        return
    for c in combs(xs,i+1):
        yield c
        yield c+(xs[i],)

演示:

>>> list( combs(range(5)) )
[(), (0,), (1,), (1, 0), (2,), (2, 0), (2, 1), (2, 1, 0), (3,), (3, 0), (3, 1), (3, 1, 0), (3, 2), (3, 2, 0), (3, 2, 1), (3, 2, 1, 0), (4,), (4, 0), (4, 1), (4, 1, 0), (4, 2), (4, 2, 0), (4, 2, 1), (4, 2, 1, 0), (4, 3), (4, 3, 0), (4, 3, 1), (4, 3, 1, 0), (4, 3, 2), (4, 3, 2, 0), (4, 3, 2, 1), (4, 3, 2, 1, 0)]

>>> list(sorted( combs(range(5)), key=len))
[(), 
 (0,), (1,), (2,), (3,), (4,), 
 (1, 0), (2, 0), (2, 1), (3, 0), (3, 1), (3, 2), (4, 0), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), 
 (2, 1, 0), (3, 1, 0), (3, 2, 0), (3, 2, 1), (4, 1, 0), (4, 2, 0), (4, 2, 1), (4, 3, 0), (4, 3, 1), (4, 3, 2), 
 (3, 2, 1, 0), (4, 2, 1, 0), (4, 3, 1, 0), (4, 3, 2, 0), (4, 3, 2, 1), 
 (4, 3, 2, 1, 0)]

>>> len(set(combs(range(5))))
32

下面是一个惰性一行代码，同样使用itertools:

from itertools import compress, product

def combinations(items):
    return ( set(compress(items,mask)) for mask in product(*[[0,1]]*len(items)) )
    # alternative:                      ...in product([0,1], repeat=len(items)) )

这个答案背后的主要思想是:有2^N种组合——与长度为N的二进制字符串的数量相同。对于每个二进制字符串，您选择与“1”对应的所有元素。

items=abc * mask=###
 |
 V
000 -> 
001 ->   c
010 ->  b
011 ->  bc
100 -> a
101 -> a c
110 -> ab
111 -> abc

需要考虑的事情:

This requires that you can call len(...) on items (workaround: if items is something like an iterable like a generator, turn it into a list first with items=list(_itemsArg)) This requires that the order of iteration on items is not random (workaround: don't be insane) This requires that the items are unique, or else {2,2,1} and {2,1,1} will both collapse to {2,1} (workaround: use collections.Counter as a drop-in replacement for set; it's basically a multiset... though you may need to later use tuple(sorted(Counter(...).elements())) if you need it to be hashable)

Demo

>>> list(combinations(range(4)))
[set(), {3}, {2}, {2, 3}, {1}, {1, 3}, {1, 2}, {1, 2, 3}, {0}, {0, 3}, {0, 2}, {0, 2, 3}, {0, 1}, {0, 1, 3}, {0, 1, 2}, {0, 1, 2, 3}]

>>> list(combinations('abcd'))
[set(), {'d'}, {'c'}, {'c', 'd'}, {'b'}, {'b', 'd'}, {'c', 'b'}, {'c', 'b', 'd'}, {'a'}, {'a', 'd'}, {'a', 'c'}, {'a', 'c', 'd'}, {'a', 'b'}, {'a', 'b', 'd'}, {'a', 'c', 'b'}, {'a', 'c', 'b', 'd'}]

正如James Brady提到的，你的itertools.combination是一个键。但这并不是一个完整的解决方案。

解决方案1

import itertools
def all(lst):
    # ci is a bitmask which denotes particular combination,
    # see explanation below
    for ci in range(1, 2**len(lst)):
        yield tuple(itertools.compress(
            lst,
            [ci & (1<<k) for k in  range(0, len(lst))]
        ))

解决方案2

import itertools
def all_combs(lst):
    for r in range(1, len(lst)+1):
        for comb in itertools.combinations(lst, r):
            yield comb

例子

>>> list(all_combs([1,2,3]))
[(1,), (2,), (3,), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 3), (1, 2, 3)]
>>> len(list(all_combs([1,2,3])))
7
>>> len(list(all_combs(range(0, 15))))
32767
>>> list(all([1,2,3]))
[(1,), (2,), (1, 2), (3,), (1, 3), (2, 3), (1, 2, 3)]
>>> len(list(all(range(15))))
32767

解释

假设数组A的长度为N，让长度为N的位掩码B表示一个特定的组合C。如果B[i]是1，那么A[i]属于组合C。

方案1说明

所以我们可以遍历所有的位掩码并用这个位掩码过滤源数组A，这可以通过itertools。compress来完成。

方案2说明

.．.或者，我们可以用组合来表示

现在我们需要考虑这样的情况，当B中只有一个1，然后只有两个1，等等。每种情况都属于特定的组合。 因此，一旦我们组合所有的组合集，我们将得到所有的子序列。

同样，很明显，在这种情况下，所有可能的组合的数量是2^N - 1。当所有B[i]都为零时，我们省略大小写，因为我们假设空集不是一个组合。否则，就不要减去1。

这种方法可以很容易地移植到所有支持递归的编程语言中(没有itertools，没有yield，没有列表理解):

def combs(a):
    if len(a) == 0:
        return [[]]
    cs = []
    for c in combs(a[1:]):
        cs += [c, c+[a[0]]]
    return cs

>>> combs([1,2,3,4,5])
[[], [1], [2], [2, 1], [3], [3, 1], [3, 2], ..., [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]]
