I disagree. For one who understands counting and Python, this is a direct way to define the count of a finite iterable. A functionalist would prefer it to the obvious 3-line version with a for statement.
I've generally done something like that. I suppose it could be added to itertools.
itertools callables all produce iterators. The above only consumes an iterable.
