Note that the itertools recipes page in the docs includes the following:
def pairwise(iterable):
"s -> (s0,s1), (s1,s2), (s2, s3), ..."
a, b = tee(iterable)
next(b, None)
return izip(a, b)
There are a couple of other variants here:

And a different take on providing similar functionality here:
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/544296/
However, the idea of providing a general windowing function in itertools
has been considered in the past and emphatically rejected:
