Same idea with me!

nice

I can only speak for myself, but I had originally used itertools.permutation() to split the given number into an array of all of its permutations and then sort through to find the lowest number greater than the original. This worked for the test cases but not when I actually attempted since really large numbers timeout as this algorithm is super inefficient.

So I changed the whole gameplan and simply forgot to change the 'import itertools' line at the top.

Someone forget remove unused import, other copy-paste

They may trying to use the function(s) in the module itertools but the failed or find out that they don't need it.
And that's why they leave the code 'import itertools' undeleted.

But I am a dumbass so I will use itertools.permutations to solve it.

elegant and clean

but for a long time I tried to understand why this )))
I`m innocent ))

:)

There no needs of itertools. I have forgot to delete this line.

There is nothing stopping a solution from sharing states externally:
