4 problems noted here.

Thanks, Dave.

1,2---problems 1 & 2 concern py<3k references:

http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/library/multiprocessing.html

  1. "apply(func[, args[, kwds]])
    Equivalent of the apply() builtin function. It blocks till the result
    is ready."

Of course there isn't any longer an "apply" builtin.

  1. "imap(func, iterable[, chunksize])
    An equivalent of itertools.imap()."

Likewise, there's no "itertools.imap". Perhaps use
itertools.some_sort_of_truncating_wrapper(itertools.zip_longest(...))?

This brings us to the itertools problem.

3,4---problems 3 & 4 concern "izip" in:

http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/library/itertools.html

This mentions "izip_longest()", but there isn't an "izip_anything" in
py3k itertools. Searching the page for the string "izip" produces two
separate occurrences. izip_longest -> zip_longest but I don't know
how to fix the other one.
