I was not completely familiar with itertools but itertools.islice() seems to have the functionality that I propose. It is great that  there already exist a solution that does not change python's syntax. Unless anyone wants to pursue this proposal I will drop it next week.

Just as a further follow-up on the recommended approach for making suggestions: for initial concepts like this one, the "python-ideas" mailing list is the preferred venue. It's intended for initial validation and refinement of suggestions to see if they're a reasonable topic for the main development list. Many ideas don't make it past the python-ideas stage (either because they have too many problems, they get redirected to a third party PyPI project, or existing alternatives are pointed out, as happened in this case).

Regards, Nick.
