I would like to generate words list in a specific way. I would like to find all permutations for my variable l='EDCMI' not only for 5 characters but for 4 characters, 3 characters etc.

          Just use a nested for loop and remember to add 1 to your range argument to include permutations the same length as your input string:



          from itertools import permutations

          s = 'EDCMI'

          for i in range(len(s) + 1):
          for p in permutations(s, i):
          print(''.join(p))

            you have to start the range of your outer loop at 1 if you don't want the empty element ''
