Print all permutations of a string in python

Python program for Print all permutations of a string. Here more information.

#  Python 3 program for
#  Print all permutations of a string
class Permutation :
	#  Swapping two string elements by index
	def swap(self, text, size, a, b) :
		#  Check valid location of swap element
		if ((a >= 0 and a < size) and(b >= 0 and b < size)) :
			data = list(text)
			data[a],data[b] = data[b],data[a]
			return ''.join(data)
		return text
	
	#  Method which is print all permutations of given string
	def findPermutation(self, text, n, size) :
		if (n > size) :
			return
		
		if (n == size) :
			print(text)
			return
		
		i = n
		while (i < size) :
			#  Swap the element
			text = self.swap(text, size, i, n)
			self.findPermutation(text, n + 1, size)
			#  Swap the element
			text = self.swap(text, size, i, n)
			i += 1
		
	

def main() :
	task = Permutation()
	text = "ABC"
	size = len(text)
	task.findPermutation(text, 0, size)
	print()
	text = "abcd"
	size = len(text)
	task.findPermutation(text, 0, size)

if __name__ == "__main__": main()
