As title suggests, Combinations( range(100), 100 ).list() takes forever.

On the other hand, Combinations( range(100), 0 ).list() is pretty fast.

Is there anything I can do to improve the performance?

PS. I am using itertools.combinations as an alternative.

Remove .list() and just iterate over the set.

That also hangs until one does ctrl-C.
