I presume that zip() would keep its current behavior, yes? I kind of like this -- is there any precedent for it in the standard library? The PEP seems to reject this saying: The actual zip type is an undocumented implementation detail.

Whether adding additional methods is too large a change -- that's totally a matter of opinion. > Having these alternative 'methods' would be similar to having different functions in itertools, indeed -- same idea, different namepace. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
