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]]

如果你不想使用组合库，这里是解决方案:

nums = [1,2,3]
p = [[]]
fnl = [[],nums]

for i in range(len(nums)):
    for j in range(i+1,len(nums)):
        p[-1].append([i,j])

for i in range(len(nums)-3):
    p.append([])
    for m in p[-2]:
        p[-1].append(m+[m[-1]+1])

for i in p:
    for j in i:
        n = []
        for m in j:
            if m < len(nums):
                n.append(nums[m])
        if n not in fnl:
            fnl.append(n)

for i in nums:
    if [i] not in fnl:
        fnl.append([i])

print(fnl)

输出:

[[], [1, 2, 3], [1, 2], [1, 3], [2, 3], [1], [2], [3]]

我来晚了，但我想分享我找到的解决这个问题的方法: 具体来说，我想要做顺序组合，所以对于“STAR”，我想要“STAR”，“TA”，“AR”，但不是“SR”。

lst = [S, T, A, R]
lstCombos = []
for Length in range(0,len(lst)+1):
    for i in lst:
        lstCombos.append(lst[lst.index(i):lst.index(i)+Length])

可以通过在最后一行之前添加额外的if来过滤重复:

lst = [S, T, A, R]
lstCombos = []
for Length in range(0,len(lst)+1):
    for i in lst:
         if not lst[lst.index(i):lst.index(i)+Length]) in lstCombos:
             lstCombos.append(lst[lst.index(i):lst.index(i)+Length])

如果由于某种原因，这将在输出中返回空白列表，这发生在我身上，我添加:

for subList in lstCombos:
    if subList = '':
         lstCombos.remove(subList)

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

还可以使用more_itertools包中的powerset函数。

from more_itertools import powerset

l = [1,2,3]
list(powerset(l))

# [(), (1,), (2,), (3,), (1, 2), (1, 3), (2, 3), (1, 2, 3)]

我们也可以验证，它满足OP的要求

from more_itertools import ilen

assert ilen(powerset(range(15))) == 32_768

我在这个话题上有点晚了，但我想我可以帮助别人。

你可以使用itertools中的product:

from itertools import product

n = [1, 2, 3]

result = product(n, repeat=3) # You can change the repeat more then n length

print(list(result))

输出:

[(1, 1, 1), (1, 1, 2), (1, 1, 3), (1, 2, 1), (1, 2, 2), (1, 2, 3), (1, 3, 1),
 (1, 3, 2), (1, 3, 3), (2, 1, 1), (2, 1, 2), (2, 1, 3), (2, 2, 1), (2, 2, 2),
 (2, 2, 3), (2, 3, 1), (2, 3, 2), (2, 3, 3), (3, 1, 1), (3, 1, 2), (3, 1, 3), 
(3, 2, 1), (3, 2, 2), (3, 2, 3), (3, 3, 1), (3, 3, 2), (3, 3, 3)]

另一个例子，但是改变了repeat参数:

from itertools import product

n = [1, 2, 3]

result = product(n, repeat=4) # Changing repeat to 4
print(list(result))

输出:

(1, 1, 2, 3), (1, 1, 3, 1), (1, 1, 3, 2), (1, 1, 3, 3), (1, 2, 1, 1), 
(1, 2, 1, 2), (1, 2, 1, 3), (1, 2, 2, 1), (1, 2, 2, 2), (1, 2, 2, 3), 
(1, 2, 3, 1), (1, 2, 3, 2), (1, 2, 3, 3), (1, 3, 1, 1), (1, 3, 1, 2), 
(1, 3, 1, 3), (1, 3, 2, 1), (1, 3, 2, 2), (1, 3, 2, 3), (1, 3, 3, 1), 
(1, 3, 3, 2), (1, 3, 3, 3), (2, 1, 1, 1), (2, 1, 1, 2), (2, 1, 1, 3), 
(2, 1, 2, 1), (2, 1, 2, 2), (2, 1, 2, 3), (2, 1, 3, 1), (2, 1, 3, 2),
 (2, 1, 3, 3), (2, 2, 1, 1), (2, 2, 1, 2), (2, 2, 1, 3), (2, 2, 2, 1), 
(2, 2, 2, 2), (2, 2, 2, 3), (2, 2, 3, 1), (2, 2, 3, 2), (2, 2, 3, 3), 
(2, 3, 1, 1), (2, 3, 1, 2), (2, 3, 1, 3), (2, 3, 2, 1), (2, 3, 2, 2), 
(2, 3, 2, 3), (2, 3, 3, 1), (2, 3, 3, 2), (2, 3, 3, 3), (3, 1, 1, 1), 
(3, 1, 1, 2), (3, 1, 1, 3), (3, 1, 2, 1), (3, 1, 2, 2), (3, 1, 2, 3), 
(3, 1, 3, 1), (3, 1, 3, 2), (3, 1, 3, 3), (3, 2, 1, 1), (3, 2, 1, 2), 
(3, 2, 1, 3), (3, 2, 2, 1), (3, 2, 2, 2), (3, 2, 2, 3), (3, 2, 3, 1), 
(3, 2, 3, 2), (3, 2, 3, 3), (3, 3, 1, 1), (3, 3, 1, 2), (3, 3, 1, 3), 
(3, 3, 2, 1), (3, 3, 2, 2), (3, 3, 2, 3), (3, 3, 3, 1), (3, 3, 3, 2), 
(3, 3, 3, 3)]```
