Yes, also worth noting is the thread:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2005-January/263004.html
which concludes with:
from itertools import islice, chain, repeat
def partition(iterable, part_len):
itr = iter(iterable)
while 1:
item = tuple(islice(itr, part_len))
if len(item) < part_len:
raise StopIteration
yield item
def padded_partition(iterable, part_len, pad_val=None):
padding = repeat(pad_val, part_len-1)
itr = chain(iter(iterable), padding)
return partition(itr, part_len)
