Setting maximum value of Range() in For loop - pmt - Aug-04-2019

Hello all, I am trying to use range() and for loop function to change the dictionary keys and values.
Expected output result is to create the keys and values of t{} according to the values in f_set.
The expected result is e.g I would like to create f_set[0]=(e.g 5) and f_set[1]=e.g 2 values and get the t output as {(1, 2, 1): 1, (1, 2, 2): 1, (1, 2, 3): 1, (1, 2, 4): 1, (1, 2, 5): 1,(1, 3, 1): 1, (1, 3, 2): 1}. However, the current output is always taking the maximum value fro m f_set as final value. How can I get the t output as I want to create? Thanks for any help.
N=[1,2,3]
t={}
f_set=[5,2,1,10,15,1,3,1]
for x in N:
    for y in N:
        if x is not y: 
          for f in f_set:
            for f_no in range(1,f+1):
              t[x,y,f_no]=1
print(t)
Output:
{(1, 2, 1): 1, (1, 2, 2): 1, (1, 2, 3): 1, (1, 2, 4): 1, (1, 2, 5): 1, (1, 2, 6): 1, (1, 2, 7): 1, (1, 2, 8): 1, (1, 2, 9): 1, (1, 2, 10):
1, (1, 2, 11): 1, (1, 2, 12): 1, (1, 2, 13): 1, (1, 2, 14): 1, (1, 2, 15): 1, (1, 3, 1): 1, (1, 3, 2): 1, (1, 3, 3): 1, (1, 3, 4): 1, (1, 3, 5): 1, (1, 3, 6): 1, (1, 3, 7): 1, (1, 3, 8): 1, (1, 3, 9): 1, (1, 3, 10): 1, (1, 3, 11): 1, (1, 3, 12): 1, (1, 3, 13): 1, (1, 3, 14): 1, (1, 3, 15): 1, (2, 1, 1): 1, (2, 1, 2): 1, (2, 1, 3): 1, (2, 1, 4): 1, (2, 1, 5): 1, (2, 1, 6): 1, (2, 1, 7): 1, (2, 1, 8): 1, (2, 1, 9):
1, (2, 1, 10): 1, (2, 1, 11): 1, (2, 1, 12): 1, (2, 1, 13): 1, (2, 1, 14): 1, (2, 1, 15): 1, (2, 3, 1): 1, (2, 3, 2): 1, (2, 3, 3): 1, (2,
3, 4): 1, (2, 3, 5): 1, (2, 3, 6): 1, (2, 3, 7): 1, (2, 3, 8): 1, (2, 3, 9): 1, (2, 3, 10): 1, (2, 3, 11): 1, (2, 3, 12): 1, (2, 3, 13): 1, (2, 3, 14): 1, (2, 3, 15): 1, (3, 1, 1): 1, (3, 1, 2): 1, (3, 1, 3): 1, (3, 1, 4): 1, (3, 1, 5): 1, (3, 1, 6): 1, (3, 1, 7): 1, (3, 1, 8): 1, (3, 1, 9): 1, (3, 1, 10): 1, (3, 1, 11): 1, (3, 1, 12): 1, (3, 1, 13): 1, (3, 1, 14): 1, (3, 1, 15): 1, (3, 2, 1): 1, (3, 2, 2): 1, (3, 2, 3): 1, (3, 2, 4): 1, (3, 2, 5): 1, (3, 2, 6): 1, (3, 2, 7): 1, (3, 2, 8): 1, (3, 2, 9): 1, (3, 2, 10): 1, (3, 2, 11): 1, (3, 2, 12): 1, (3, 2, 13): 1, (3, 2, 14): 1, (3, 2, 15): 1}

You are always getting the maximum value for f_set because for each pair of initial values, you are going through every value in f_set (line 7). You only want to get one value in f_set per pair of initial values.

N=[1,2,3]
t={}
f_set=[5,2,1,10,15,1,3,1]
f_index = 0
for x in N:
    for y in N:
        if x is not y: 
            for f_no in range(1,f_set[f_index]+1):
                t[x,y,f_no]=1
            f_index += 1
print(t)

Thank you very much for your help. It worked and I could get the result as I want.

With product from itertools you can remove the nested for-loop for x and y.
from itertools import product


N = [1, 2, 3]
t = {}
f_set = [5,2,1,10,15,1,3,1]
f_index = 0
for x,y in product(N, N):
    if x is not y: 
        for f_no in range(1, f_set[f_index] + 1):
            t[x, y, f_no] = 1
        f_index += 1
print(t)
With a card deck it's easier to understand:

from itertools import product
from itertools import chain

# 2 - 10, Jack, Queen, King, Ace
numbers = chain(range(2,11), ['Jack', 'Queen', 'King', 'Ace'])
colors = ['♠', '♡', '♣', '♢']

for color, number in product(colors, numbers):
    print(f'{color} {number}')
The Result

@DeaD_EyE ..Thanks for your suggestion.
