python中grid函数_R中的expand.grid()函数

有没有类似于R中的expand.grid()函数的Python函数？提前致谢.

(EDIT)下面是这个R函数的描述和一个例子.

Create a Data Frame from All Combinations of Factors

Description:

Create a data frame from all combinations of the supplied vectors

or factors.

> x

> y

> expand.grid(x,y)

Var1 Var2

1 1 1

2 2 1

3 3 1

4 1 2

5 2 2

6 3 2

7 1 3

8 2 3

9 3 3

(EDIT2)下面是rpy包的一个例子.我想得到相同的输出对象,但不使用R：

>>> from rpy import *

>>> a = [1,2,3]

>>> b = [5,7,9]

>>> r.assign("a",a)

[1, 2, 3]

>>> r.assign("b",b)

[5, 7, 9]

>>> r("expand.grid(a,b)")

{'Var1': [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3], 'Var2': [5, 5, 5, 7, 7, 7, 9, 9, 9]}

编辑02/09/2012：我真的迷失了Python. Lev Levitsky的答案中给出的代码对我来说不起作用：

>>> a = [1,2,3]

>>> b = [5,7,9]

>>> expandgrid(a, b)

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 1, in

File "", line 2, in expandgrid

NameError: global name 'itertools' is not defined

然而,itertools模块似乎被安装(从itertools import *输入不返回任何错误消息)
