Now that Python 3 is all about iterators (which is a user killer feature for Python according to StackOverflow - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python) would it be nice to introduce more first class functions to work with them? One function to be exact to split string into chunks.

itertools.chunks(iterable, size, fill=None) Which is the 33th most voted Python question on SO - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/312443/how-do-you-split-a-list-into-evenly-sized-chunks-in-python/312464 P.S. CC'ing to python-dev@ to notify about the thread in python-ideas.

Anatoly, so far there were no negative votes -- would you care to go another step and propose a patch?

Georg
