:I don't think so.He wants to create the permutation of different elements in which each element has its own constant multiplicity in this permutation. His example: [2,1] ( element 1 two times und element 2 1 time ) should give results (1,1,2), (1,2,1) and (2,1,1)

I don't think the permutations_with_repetitions task is about permutations at all, but rather generating all possible sequences (words) of a certain length from an alphabet, where each symbol may be repeated an infinite amount of times as needed.
 
This task is instead about creating all sequences of a finite set of elements where some elements are indistinguishable from each other.
