如何生成列表的所有排列？

如何生成列表的所有排列？例如：

permutations([])
[]

permutations([1])
[1]

permutations([1, 2])
[1, 2]
[2, 1]

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

这是初始排序后生成排列的渐近最优方式O（n*n！）。

有n个！最多进行一次置换，且具有下一次置换（..），以O（n）时间复杂度运行

在3个步骤中，

找到最大的j，使a[j]可以增加以最小可行量增加a[j]找到扩展新a[0..j]的字典最少方法

'''
Lexicographic permutation generation

consider example array state of [1,5,6,4,3,2] for sorted [1,2,3,4,5,6]
after 56432(treat as number) ->nothing larger than 6432(using 6,4,3,2) beginning with 5
so 6 is next larger and 2345(least using numbers other than 6)
so [1, 6,2,3,4,5]

    decrease l (from n-1 to j) repeatedly until a[j]<a[l]

我使用了一种基于阶乘数系统的算法——对于长度为n的列表，您可以逐项组装每个排列，从每个阶段留下的项目中进行选择。第一项有n个选项，第二项有n-1个选项，最后一项只有一个选项，因此可以使用阶乘数系统中数字的数字作为索引。这是数字0到n-1对应于词典顺序中的所有可能的排列。

from math import factorial
def permutations(l):
    permutations=[]
    length=len(l)
    for x in xrange(factorial(length)):
        available=list(l)
        newPermutation=[]
        for radix in xrange(length, 0, -1):
            placeValue=factorial(radix-1)
            index=x/placeValue
            newPermutation.append(available.pop(index))
            x-=index*placeValue
        permutations.append(newPermutation)
    return permutations

permutations(range(3))

输出：

[[0, 1, 2], [0, 2, 1], [1, 0, 2], [1, 2, 0], [2, 0, 1], [2, 1, 0]]

此方法是非递归的，但在我的计算机上速度稍慢，xrange在n！太大，无法转换为C长整数（我的n=13）。当我需要它的时候，它已经足够了，但它远没有itertools.permutations。

另一种解决方案：

def permutation(flag, k =1 ):
    N = len(flag)
    for i in xrange(0, N):
        if flag[i] != 0:
            continue
        flag[i] = k 
        if k == N:
            print flag
        permutation(flag, k+1)
        flag[i] = 0

permutation([0, 0, 0])

def permuteArray (arr):

    arraySize = len(arr)

    permutedList = []

    if arraySize == 1:
        return [arr]

    i = 0

    for item in arr:

        for elem in permuteArray(arr[:i] + arr[i + 1:]):
            permutedList.append([item] + elem)

        i = i + 1    

    return permutedList

我不打算在一个新的行中穷尽所有的可能性，以使它有点独特。

在我看来，一个很明显的方式可能是：

def permutList(l):
    if not l:
            return [[]]
    res = []
    for e in l:
            temp = l[:]
            temp.remove(e)
            res.extend([[e] + r for r in permutList(temp)])

    return res
