> Balls-in-boxes _is_ one of the most basic of the canonical combinatorial problems.

Agreed.  But in its basic form, this is covered by itertools.combinations, isn't it?  It may be worth a doc recipe showing how to use itertools.combinations for this (especially since the naive implementation---e.g., the one I posted on comp.lang.python, doesn't get boundary cases right).
