Having problems with python permutations

Question

I am having some problem with permutations! I am a really big noob when it comes to python so any help would be appreciated!

Lets say I have a list that ranges from 1-6

Answer 1

from itertools import product

LIMIT = 4
l1 = [1,2,3]

results = []

for i in range(1, LIMIT+1):
    results.extend(product(l1, repeat=i))

print(results)

will yield:

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