trotter包与大多数实现的不同之处在于，它生成的伪列表实际上不包含排列，而是描述排列与排序中各个位置之间的映射，从而可以处理非常大的排列“列表”，如本演示所示，它在一个包含字母表中所有字母排列的伪列表中执行相当即时的操作和查找，而不使用比典型网页更多的内存或处理。

在任何情况下，要生成排列列表，我们可以执行以下操作。

import trotter

my_permutations = trotter.Permutations(3, [1, 2, 3])

print(my_permutations)

for p in my_permutations:
    print(p)

输出：

A pseudo-list containing 6 3-permutations of [1, 2, 3].
[1, 2, 3]
[1, 3, 2]
[3, 1, 2]
[3, 2, 1]
[2, 3, 1]
[2, 1, 3]

这是受Haskell实现使用列表理解的启发：

def permutation(list):
    if len(list) == 0:
        return [[]]
    else:
        return [[x] + ys for x in list for ys in permutation(delete(list, x))]

def delete(list, item):
    lc = list[:]
    lc.remove(item)
    return lc

from typing import List
import time, random

def measure_time(func):
    def wrapper_time(*args, **kwargs):
        start_time = time.perf_counter()
        res = func(*args, **kwargs)
        end_time = time.perf_counter()
        return res, end_time - start_time

    return wrapper_time


class Solution:
    def permute(self, nums: List[int], method: int = 1) -> List[List[int]]:
        perms = []
        perm = []
        if method == 1:
            _, time_perm = self._permute_recur(nums, 0, len(nums) - 1, perms)
        elif method == 2:
            _, time_perm = self._permute_recur_agian(nums, perm, perms)
            print(perm)
        return perms, time_perm

    @measure_time
    def _permute_recur(self, nums: List[int], l: int, r: int, perms: List[List[int]]):
        # base case
        if l == r:
            perms.append(nums.copy())

        for i in range(l, r + 1):
            nums[l], nums[i] = nums[i], nums[l]
            self._permute_recur(nums, l + 1, r , perms)
            nums[l], nums[i] = nums[i], nums[l]

    @measure_time
    def _permute_recur_agian(self, nums: List[int], perm: List[int], perms_list: List[List[int]]):
        """
        The idea is similar to nestedForLoops visualized as a recursion tree.
        """
        if nums:
            for i in range(len(nums)):
                # perm.append(nums[i])  mistake, perm will be filled with all nums's elements.
                # Method1 perm_copy = copy.deepcopy(perm)
                # Method2 add in the parameter list using + (not in place)
                # caveat: list.append is in-place , which is useful for operating on global element perms_list
                # Note that:
                # perms_list pass by reference. shallow copy
                # perm + [nums[i]] pass by value instead of reference.
                self._permute_recur_agian(nums[:i] + nums[i+1:], perm + [nums[i]], perms_list)
        else:
            # Arrive at the last loop, i.e. leaf of the recursion tree.
            perms_list.append(perm)



if __name__ == "__main__":
    array = [random.randint(-10, 10) for _ in range(3)]
    sol = Solution()
    # perms, time_perm = sol.permute(array, 1)
    perms2, time_perm2 = sol.permute(array, 2)
    print(perms2)
    # print(perms, perms2)
    # print(time_perm, time_perm2)
```

以下代码是给定列表的就地排列，作为生成器实现。由于它只返回对列表的引用，因此不应在生成器外部修改列表。该解决方案是非递归的，因此使用了低内存。还可以很好地处理输入列表中元素的多个副本。

def permute_in_place(a):
    a.sort()
    yield list(a)

    if len(a) <= 1:
        return

    first = 0
    last = len(a)
    while 1:
        i = last - 1

        while 1:
            i = i - 1
            if a[i] < a[i+1]:
                j = last - 1
                while not (a[i] < a[j]):
                    j = j - 1
                a[i], a[j] = a[j], a[i] # swap the values
                r = a[i+1:last]
                r.reverse()
                a[i+1:last] = r
                yield list(a)
                break
            if i == first:
                a.reverse()
                return

if __name__ == '__main__':
    for n in range(5):
        for a in permute_in_place(range(1, n+1)):
            print a
        print

    for a in permute_in_place([0, 0, 1, 1, 1]):
        print a
    print

递归之美：

>>> import copy
>>> def perm(prefix,rest):
...      for e in rest:
...              new_rest=copy.copy(rest)
...              new_prefix=copy.copy(prefix)
...              new_prefix.append(e)
...              new_rest.remove(e)
...              if len(new_rest) == 0:
...                      print new_prefix + new_rest
...                      continue
...              perm(new_prefix,new_rest)
... 
>>> perm([],['a','b','c','d'])
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
['a', 'b', 'd', 'c']
['a', 'c', 'b', 'd']
['a', 'c', 'd', 'b']
['a', 'd', 'b', 'c']
['a', 'd', 'c', 'b']
['b', 'a', 'c', 'd']
['b', 'a', 'd', 'c']
['b', 'c', 'a', 'd']
['b', 'c', 'd', 'a']
['b', 'd', 'a', 'c']
['b', 'd', 'c', 'a']
['c', 'a', 'b', 'd']
['c', 'a', 'd', 'b']
['c', 'b', 'a', 'd']
['c', 'b', 'd', 'a']
['c', 'd', 'a', 'b']
['c', 'd', 'b', 'a']
['d', 'a', 'b', 'c']
['d', 'a', 'c', 'b']
['d', 'b', 'a', 'c']
['d', 'b', 'c', 'a']
['d', 'c', 'a', 'b']
['d', 'c', 'b', 'a']

使用计数器

from collections import Counter

def permutations(nums):
    ans = [[]]
    cache = Counter(nums)

    for idx, x in enumerate(nums):
        result = []
        for items in ans:
            cache1 = Counter(items)
            for id, n in enumerate(nums):
                if cache[n] != cache1[n] and items + [n] not in result:
                    result.append(items + [n])

        ans = result
    return ans
permutations([1, 2, 2])
> [[1, 2, 2], [2, 1, 2], [2, 2, 1]]
