This has been rejected before.
* It is not a fundamental itertool primitive. The recipes section in
the docs shows a clean, fast implementation derived from zip_longest().
* There is some debate on a correct API for odd lengths. Some people
want an exception, some want fill-in values, some want truncation, and
some want a partially filled-in tuple. The alone is reason enough not
to set one behavior in stone.
* There is an issue with having too many itertools. The module taken as
a whole becomes more difficult to use as new tools are added. |
