Try itertools.product():

>>> class Name(str):
...     def __repr__(self):
...             return self
... 
>>> apple, pear, dog, cat, fork, spoon = map(Name, "apple pear dog cat fork 
spoon".split())
>>> fruit = [apple, pear]
>>> pets = [dog, cat]
>>> cutlery = [fork, spoon]
>>> from itertools import product
>>> for item in product(fruit, pets, cutlery):
...     print item
... 
(apple, dog, fork)
(apple, dog, spoon)
(apple, cat, fork)
(apple, cat, spoon)
(pear, dog, fork)
(pear, dog, spoon)
(pear, cat, fork)
(pear, cat, spoon)
