It depends what you mean by "combination of all lowercase letters and 0-9".

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/190465

shows one way of generating combinations, but what you want depends on
what you are actually trying to do.

If you want all pairs of lowercase letters and 0-9 you could, for example, use:

import string
import md5

def pairs(s):
    for c1 in s:
        for c2 in s:
            yield c1+c2

for i in pairs(string.ascii_lowercase+string.digits):
    m = md5.new()
    m.update(i)
    print "i=",i,"md5(i)=",m.hexdigest()
