Generate combinations across two collections.
Python: Use product for a Cartesian product; this differs from selecting combinations within one collection.
from itertools import product
print(list(product(["S", "M"], ["red", "blue"])))Expected output EXAMPLE
[('S', 'red'), ('S', 'blue'), ('M', 'red'), ('M', 'blue')]
Details
Save as snippet.py and run python3 snippet.py. Uses the Python standard library. Use product for a Cartesian product; this differs from selecting combinations within one collection.

Test inputs, results and environment
The exact published code ran in a dedicated Linux test container with prepared inputs. Unprivileged snippet process, external networking disabled, read-only root filesystem, and a fresh temporary working directory. Fixtures and output records are isolated from the application database. Testing covers this example and its stated checks, not every input, operating system, or runtime version. The Linux container shares its host's kernel; this is not a native Windows test.
