#TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "int") to list #What is the solution of the error?

CodePudding user response：

On line 13 your function permutation_generate(remLst) returns a list [1] and you start iterating over it in a for loop. So p is 1 of type int thats why on line 14 you get the error trying to concatenate [m] int won't work. [m] [p] would work.

And for your task take a look at itertools module of python standard library
