python – How do I iterate through the alphabet?

You can use string.ascii_lowercase which is simply a convenience string of lowercase letters,

>>> from string import ascii_lowercase
>>> for c in ascii_lowercase:
...     # append to your url

In addition to string.ascii_lowercase you should also take a look at the ord and chr built-ins. ord(a) will give you the ascii value for a and chr(ord(a)) will give you back the string a.

Using these you can increment and decrement through character codes and convert back and forth easily enough. ASCII table is always a good bookmark to have too.

python – How do I iterate through the alphabet?

shortest way

for c in list(map(chr,range(ord(a),ord(z)+1))):
    do_something(base_url+c)

iterate function

def plusplus(oldChar):
     return chr(ord(oldChar)+1)
plusplus(a) # output - b

Another option

url=www.website.com/term
my_char=ord(a) # convert char to ascii
while my_char<= ord(z):
   my_char+=1 # iterate over abc
   my_url=url+chr(my_char)  # convert ascii to char
   do_something(my_url)
