我喜欢这个问题，因为有很多方法来实现它。我决定为未来创造一个参考答案。

在生产中使用什么?

intertools的文档有一个独立的例子，为什么不在你的代码中使用它呢?一些人建议使用more_itertools。Powerset，但它具有完全相同的实现!如果我是你，我不会为一个小东西安装整个软件包。也许这是最好的方法:

import itertools

def powerset(iterable):
    "powerset([1,2,3]) --> () (1,) (2,) (3,) (1,2) (1,3) (2,3) (1,2,3)"
    s = list(iterable)
    return itertools.chain.from_iterable(combinations(s, r) for r in range(len(s)+1))

其他可能的方法

方法0:使用组合

import itertools

def subsets(nums):
    result = []
    for i in range(len(nums) + 1):
        result += itertools.combinations(nums, i)
    return result

方法1:简单的递归

def subsets(nums):
    result = []

    def powerset(alist, index, curr):
        if index == len(alist):
            result.append(curr)
            return

        powerset(alist, index + 1, curr + [alist[index]])
        powerset(alist, index + 1, curr)

    powerset(nums, 0, [])
    return result

方法2:回溯

def subsets(nums):
    result = []

    def backtrack(index, curr, k):
        if len(curr) == k:
            result.append(list(curr))
            return
        for i in range(index, len(nums)):
            curr.append(nums[i])
            backtrack(i + 1, curr, k)
            curr.pop()

    for k in range(len(nums) + 1):
        backtrack(0, [], k)
    return result

or

def subsets(nums):
    result = []

    def dfs(nums, index, path, result):
        result.append(path)
        for i in range(index, len(nums)):
            dfs(nums, i + 1, path + [nums[i]], result)

    dfs(nums, 0, [], result)
    return result

方法3:位掩码

def subsets(nums):
    res = []
    n = len(nums)
    for i in range(1 << n):
        aset = []
        for j in range(n):
            value = (1 << j) & i  # value = (i >> j) & 1
            if value:
                aset.append(nums[j])
        res.append(aset)
    return res

或者(不是位掩码，直觉上是2^n个子集)

def subsets(nums):
    subsets = []
    expected_subsets = 2 ** len(nums)

    def generate_subset(subset, nums):
        if len(subsets) >= expected_subsets:
            return
        if len(subsets) < expected_subsets:
            subsets.append(subset)
        for i in range(len(nums)):
            generate_subset(subset + [nums[i]], nums[i + 1:])

    generate_subset([], nums)
    return subsets

方法4:级联

def subsets(nums):
    result = [[]]
    for i in range(len(nums)):
        for j in range(len(result)):
            subset = list(result[j])
            subset.append(nums[i])
            result.append(subset)
    return result

使用列表推导式:

def selfCombine( list2Combine, length ):
    listCombined = str( ['list2Combine[i' + str( i ) + ']' for i in range( length )] ).replace( "'", '' ) \
                     + 'for i0 in range(len( list2Combine ) )'
    if length > 1:
        listCombined += str( [' for i' + str( i ) + ' in range( i' + str( i - 1 ) + ', len( list2Combine ) )' for i in range( 1, length )] )\
            .replace( "', '", ' ' )\
            .replace( "['", '' )\
            .replace( "']", '' )

    listCombined = '[' + listCombined + ']'
    listCombined = eval( listCombined )

    return listCombined

list2Combine = ['A', 'B', 'C']
listCombined = selfCombine( list2Combine, 2 )

输出将是:

['A', 'A']
['A', 'B']
['A', 'C']
['B', 'B']
['B', 'C']
['C', 'C']

这是我的实现

def get_combinations(list_of_things):
"""gets every combination of things in a list returned as a list of lists

Should be read : add all combinations of a certain size to the end of a list for every possible size in the
the list_of_things.

"""
list_of_combinations = [list(combinations_of_a_certain_size)
                        for possible_size_of_combinations in range(1,  len(list_of_things))
                        for combinations_of_a_certain_size in itertools.combinations(list_of_things,
                                                                                     possible_size_of_combinations)]
return list_of_combinations

3个功能:

列出n个元素的所有组合 列出n个元素的所有组合，其中顺序不明确 所有的排列

import sys

def permutations(a):
    return combinations(a, len(a))

def combinations(a, n):
    if n == 1:
        for x in a:
            yield [x]
    else:
        for i in range(len(a)):
            for x in combinations(a[:i] + a[i+1:], n-1):
                yield [a[i]] + x

def combinationsNoOrder(a, n):
    if n == 1:
        for x in a:
            yield [x]
    else:
        for i in range(len(a)):
            for x in combinationsNoOrder(a[:i], n-1):
                yield [a[i]] + x
    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    for s in combinations(list(map(int, sys.argv[2:])), int(sys.argv[1])):
        print(s)

flag = 0
requiredCals =12
from itertools import chain, combinations

def powerset(iterable):
    s = list(iterable)  # allows duplicate elements
    return chain.from_iterable(combinations(s, r) for r in range(len(s)+1))

stuff = [2,9,5,1,6]
for i, combo in enumerate(powerset(stuff), 1):
    if(len(combo)>0):
        #print(combo , sum(combo))
        if(sum(combo)== requiredCals):
            flag = 1
            break
if(flag==1):
    print('True')
else:
    print('else')

这个怎么样?使用字符串而不是列表，但同样的事情..string可以像Python中的列表一样处理:

def comb(s, res):
    if not s: return
    res.add(s)
    for i in range(0, len(s)):
        t = s[0:i] + s[i + 1:]
        comb(t, res)

res = set()
comb('game', res) 

print(res)
