python:intvectorrange
# gives all possible integer vectors between two endpoints, inclusively.  For example:
# IntVectorRange([0,0,2], [1,1,3]) yields:
#   [0, 0, 2]
#   [1, 0, 2]
#   [0, 1, 2]
#   [1, 1, 2]
#   [0, 0, 3]
#   [1, 0, 3]
#   [0, 1, 3]
#   [1, 1, 3]
# if only one argument is given to __init__, then the range goes from [0,0,...,0] to the vector given

This can be used to build a simple combinatorial optimizer:

import operator
 
# Optimize the return value of the given function func(), comparing return values with the is_this_better() function (which defaults to greater-than).
# All parameters must be named parameters, and come after all other arguments. Options:
# - Print out the latest best answer if print_on_better is True
# - If return_choices_only is True, then the best_inputs part of the return will only have the choices, not the fixed values
# Returns the tuple: (best_inputs,best_value)
#
# Example:
#   def f(x,y,z): return x**2+x+5-y**3+z
#   print optimize(f, x=Choice(range(-3,5)), y=Choice(range(-3,5)), z=2)
# 
# This finds the best x and y to maximize f(x,y,z) with the given choices, with z fixed at 2.
class Choice(list): pass
def optimize(func, is_this_better=operator.gt, print_on_better=False, return_choices_only=False, **vargs):
    choices = {}
    fixed_values = {}
    for k,v in vargs.items():
        if isinstance(v,Choice): choices[k] = v
        else:                    fixed_values[k] = v
    c_keys = choices.keys()
    c_value_choices = [choices[k] for k in c_keys]
 
    best_value = None
    best_inputs = None
    for c_values in AllCombinations(c_value_choices):
        chosen = dict((k,c_values[i]) for i,k in enumerate(c_keys))
        all_values = chosen.copy()
        all_values.update(fixed_values)
        value = func(**all_values)
        if best_value is None or is_this_better(value,best_value):
            best_inputs = chosen if return_choices_only else all_values
            best_value = value
            if print_on_better: print best_inputs,best_value
    return (best_inputs,best_value)
