I'll refer you to what I posted in (what appeared to me as) your other thread: If you want the unique pairs (i.e. (12,7) is equivalent to (7,12)), I *think* you can do a simple chain: pool = [] for x in xrange(1,13): for y in xrange(x, 13): pool.append((x,y)) because that will give you the sets ordered by the smallest - you'll get 1x1-12, then 2x2-12, etc. HTH, Wayne
