title: Python, print a letter n times on an nth iteration
body: <p>I seem to be stumped on this one. Unfortunately, I'm not even sure how to explain what I want. For n iterations in a loop, I want to print a letter n times. Here's some starter code...</p>
  
  <pre><code>n = 1
  max = 3
  
  letters = string.lowecase
  letters.split
  
  while n &lt;= max:
      for letter in letters:
          print letter #n times
      n = n + 1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to end up with:</p>
  
  <p>a
  b
  ...
  z
  aa
  ...
  zz
  aaa
  ...
  zzz</p>
