Solution for Python 3

For Python3 the following code grabs the word list from the web and returns a list. Answer based on accepted answer above by Kyle Kelley.

import urllib.request

word_url = "http://svnweb.freebsd.org/csrg/share/dict/words?view=co&content-type=text/plain"
response = urllib.request.urlopen(word_url)
long_txt = response.read().decode()
words = long_txt.splitlines()

Output:

>>> words
['a', 'AAA', 'AAAS', 'aardvark', 'Aarhus', 'Aaron', 'ABA', 'Ababa',
 'aback', 'abacus', 'abalone', 'abandon', 'abase', 'abash', 'abate',
 'abbas', 'abbe', 'abbey', 'abbot', 'Abbott', 'abbreviate', ... ]

And to generate (because it was my objective) a list of 1) upper case only words, 2) only "name like" words, and 3) a sort-of-realistic-but-fun sounding random name:

import random
upper_words = [word for word in words if word[0].isupper()]
name_words  = [word for word in upper_words if not word.isupper()]
rand_name   = ' '.join([name_words[random.randint(0, len(name_words))] for i in range(2)])

And some random names:

>>> for n in range(10):
        ' '.join([name_words[random.randint(0,len(name_words))] for i in range(2)])

    'Semiramis Sicilian'
    'Julius Genevieve'
    'Rwanda Cohn'
    'Quito Sutherland'
    'Eocene Wheller'
    'Olav Jove'
    'Weldon Pappas'
    'Vienna Leyden'
    'Io Dave'
    'Schwartz Stromberg'

lowercase is just a string containing the lowercase letters...

We want to change each letter of the original word (here w) so we iterate on the letters of w, but we'll mostly need the index of the letter, so we do our for loop on enumerate(w).

First of all, in python strings are immutable so we build a list x from w... lists are mutable

Now a second, inner loop on the lowercase letters: we change the current element of the x list accordingly (having changed x, we need to reset it before the next inner loop) and finally we print it.

Because we want to print a string rather than the characters in a list, we use the join method of the null string '' that glue together the elements of x using, of course, the null string.

I have not reported the output but it's exactly what you've asked for, just try...

from string import lowercase

w = 'car'
for i, _ in enumerate(w):
    x = list(w)
    for s in lowercase:
        x[i] = s
        print ''.join(x)

If you don't want the words from your original list to be repeated, then you could use sample.

import random as rn
words = ['hello', 'apple', 'something', 'yeah', 'nope', 'lalala']

word = ''.join(rn.sample(words, 5))

Result:

>>> word
'yeahhellosomethingapplenope'
