How do I iterate through the alphabet?


You can use string.ascii_lowercase which is simply a convenience string of lowercase letters,

>>> from string import ascii_lowercase>>> for c in ascii_lowercase:...     # append to your url


In addition to string.ascii_lowercase you should also take a look at the ord and chr built-ins. ord('a') will give you the ascii value for 'a' and chr(ord('a')) will give you back the string 'a'.

Using these you can increment and decrement through character codes and convert back and forth easily enough. ASCII table is always a good bookmark to have too.


I cannot comment, so I just want to give a code to @Brian answer. https://stackoverflow.com/a/17182751/1425790

url=www.website.com/termmy_char=ord('a') # convert char to asciiwhile my_char<= ord('z'):   my_char+=1 # iterate over abc   my_url=url+chr(my_char)  # convert ascii to char   do_something(my_url)
