In the zip section of the documentation, e.g. https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#zip There is mention of an idiom for clustering a data series into n-length groups that I seem to only come across when people are explaining how it works on blog entries such as the three mentioned here: http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/2z4rv4/a_function_for_partitioning_python_arrays/cpfvwun?context=3

It is not a straight-forward bit of code and so I think it should either be explained in more detail in the documentation or removed as an idiom, or I guess it could be encapsulated in a function and added to the stdlib.
