Python to iterate a number of possible combinations

[teflon]

Hi guys, I am a Python newbie so bear with me, I am trying to write a Python code that generates a query based on ten criteria represented as checkboxes, the user can select any 1-10 criteria in no particular order. so I am going to have 10 Combination 1 to 10 combination 10 possibilities and I realized using nested IF-ELSE is going to take forever. any ideas
