Nesting loops more than 20 - RtjShreyD - Oct-05-2018
I am upto creating a lookup table for a Human modelling software, Makehuman I have to translate its scale into real world metric scale for that I am creating lookup tables. It has 25 parameters that needs to be varied, I am using 25 nested for loops for that and store values finally in database SQlite .
Initially I got an exception: Too many statically nested blocks.
So to solve it I made a function for loop 2 to loop 19 and ran the code, I did not get the exception but my system got hanged when it was just computing the 11th loop.
Then I breaked the loop in even more parts, so it ran the whole code but the result in the database was not as I wanted ie, for every loop that was replaced by a function it was not computing it for all the values I wanted. I am sharing the links to my code please have a look and tell me how can I modify them.
https://github.com/RtjShreyD/Playing-with-Makehuman-scripts/blob/master/works4.py -->This clearly shows what I want to do.
https://github.com/RtjShreyD/Playing-with-Makehuman-scripts/blob/master/works5.py --->This hangs my system.
https://github.com/RtjShreyD/Playing-with-Makehuman-scripts/blob/master/works6.py --->This does not give correct result in the database.
Please advise what can be done. **geek**

For starters I would suggest looking at the itertools library. You should be able to do something like generate all permutations of the needed variables and go from there.
