def getNGrams(wordlist, n):
ngrams = []
padded_tokens = "~"*(n) + wordlist
t = tuple(wordlist)
for i in range(3):
  t = tuple(padded_tokens[i:i+n])
  ngrams.append(t)
return ngrams

Answer 1

IIUC, You can change the function like below and get what you want:

def getNGrams(wordlist, n):
    ngrams = []
    padded_tokens = "~"*n + wordlist
    for idx, i in enumerate(range(len(wordlist))):
        t = tuple((padded_tokens[i:i+n], wordlist[idx]))
        ngrams.append(t)
    return ngrams

print(getNGrams('abc',1))
print(getNGrams('abc',2))
print(getNGrams('abc',3))

Output:

[('~', 'a'), ('a', 'b'), ('b', 'c')]
[('~~', 'a'), ('~a', 'b'), ('ab', 'c')]
[('~~~', 'a'), ('~~a', 'b'), ('~ab', 'c')]
