如何利用python在一个w_在Python下，如何将一个单词，例如，“hello”，进行变种（mutate）？...

最近通过http://anandology.com/python-practice-book/working-with-data.html上的问题练习Python，做到章节2.6－列表第32个问题的时候，写出了以下代码，是否有更好的代码，可以解决这个问题。原问题如下：

Problem 32: Write a function mutate to compute all words generated by

a single mutation on a given word. A mutation is defined as inserting

a character, deleting a character, replacing a character, or swapping

2 consecutive characters in a string. For simplicity consider only

letters from a to z.

我的代码如下：

#coding:utf-8

def mutate(ori_word):

result = []

characters = [chr(w) for w in xrange(97,123)]

split_word = [w for w in ori_word] #['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']

for x in xrange(0,5):

word = split_word[:]

word.pop(x)

result.append(''.join(word)) # delete any one of the character in "hello"

for c in characters:

word = split_word[:]

word[x] = c

result.append(''.join(word)) # replace any one of the character in "hello" by using a to z

for y in xrange(0,5):

word = split_word[:]

word[x] , word[y] = word[y], word[x]

result.append(''.join(word)) # swap two character in "hello"

return result

word = mutate("hello")
