That's actually from the standard library documentation. http://docs.python.org/lib/module-itertools.html , paragraph 2, sentence 2. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

This seems to be a lazy spurt from a Turing Test program. Should do better F- - Paddy. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I don't think a Turing Test program is this good - it's been steered manually. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

BNSF is free to make train car trucks that are not 11' across. Python programmers are free to do X their way. The std. lib. has readability and reliability problems. Individuals created their own slightly varying implementation. It has its own quirks and naming conventions. This is RCA cable; it goes in. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Standardization allows RCA cables, bumpers, and 115V plugs. The Bill of Rights allows Huckleberry Finn.

standardization allows?
Standardization helps avoid the readability and reliability problems which arise when many different individuals create their own slightly varying implementations, each with their own quirks and naming conventions. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
