All implementations relying on zip or zip_longest breaks with infinite
iterable (e.g. itertools.count()).
And it is not impossible to define a clean, flexible, and familiar API
which will be similar to open()'s mode or unicode error mode. The modes
would be 'error' (default), 'pad', 'truncate', and 'partial' (maybe
should suggest a better name than 'partial')

It should also be weighed that a lot of people are expecting for this
kind of function in itertools. I think there are other functions in
itertools that have more questionable value than groupers, such as starmap. |
