Consider a tuple v = (a,b,c) and a generator function generate(x) which receives an item from the tuple and generates several options for each item.

What is the pythonic way of generating a set of all the possible combinations of the result of generate(x) on each item in the tuple?

I could do this:

v = (a,b,c)
for d in generate(v[0]):
    for e in generate(v[1]):
        for f in generate(v[2]):
            print d,e,f

but that's just ugly, plus I need a generic solution.
