Answer 1

You can also use marker generation by tuple e.g. as

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
markers = [(i,j,0) for i in range(2,10) for j in range(1, 3)]
[plt.plot(i, 0, marker = markers[i], ms=10) for i in range(16)]

See Matplotlib markers doc site for details.

In addition, this can be combined with itertools.cycle looping mentioned above
