Thanks for the support :-) I'd like to add my voice to the people saying that if someone isn't willing to go and find the correct function, and import it from the correct module, to implement the behaviour that they want, then I have no interest in making it easier for them to write their code correctly, because they seem to have very little interest in correctness. Can someone come up with any sort of credible argument that someone who's trying to write their code correctly would be in any way inconvenienced by having to get the functionality from itertools? It seems like we're trying to design a way for people to "accidentally" write correct code without trying to, and without understanding what could go wrong if they use the current zip function. I'm OK with "make it easy to do the right thing", but "make it easy to do the right thing by accident" is a step too far IMO.
