+0 on your proposal I just don't see itertools being used often enough to justify your change, but I can see the utility for those instances where it is used heavily.
In some sense it's a chicken-and-egg problem. My guess is that one reason itertools are not used as much as they could/should is that they are "hidden away" in a module, which makes one think it twice before importing it (let alone newbies that don't even know its existence). As a single data point, I'm a big fan itertools and still I'm often lazy to import it to use, say izip() only once; I just go with zip() instead.
