None.  I assume you have an answer to this *trivial* problem...

It's actually a very general question relating to a very specific 
problem I am working on.  Normally, I do not reply to such snide 
remarks, but I'd like to note that this post would never have been made 
if there *were* a Python package which provided these common 
combinatorial methods.
