First post here. Tried to get the most minimalistic way to calculate the amount of permutations. The typical formula is:
n! = 1 * 2 * 3 ... * r * r + 1 * ... n
r! = 1 * 2 * 3 ... * r
But since every number between 1 and r is simplified, it's just a multiplication of the (x)range between r+1 and n.
Also as an example of lambda functions on python, and the reduce function, which takes every pair inside a list-type object and runs the function over them.

This python class converts a permission mask in symbolic format (the kind a diretcory listing produces, ex.: drwxr-xr-x) to a string that's usable in a chmod command.
ex.: chmod u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rwtx ~/myscripts/convert_mask.py
This can be very useful when recovering permissions from a backup.

Returns a safe copy if the value argument is mutable, otherwise returns the original argument. If the feedback keyword argument is True, then a tuple is returned containing the resulting argument, and whether or not is was mutable.

Introduction
This function is a function that returns a function. You pass it a function, and it returns a function that takes a collection as a parameter and applies your function to it. The difference between this and map is that this returns a function that you can use again which takes a collection as a parameter.
For Example
If I had a collection c, and a function p that prints its argument, I can create a visitor function using the following:
printVisitor=createVisitor(p)
Then any time I want to print a collection I just type:
printVisitor(c)
A Better Example
If you were writing an IRC server you would probably have many functions that operated on a list of users, such as ban,makeop, etc. You could create those functions in a manor similar to the following:
banUsers=createVisitor(ban)
makeOperators=createVisitor(makeop)
Then in a seperate file you could use these functions as if they were regular functions.
you would type banUsers(users) to ban, or makeOperators(users) to promote those users.
