I open to that. For this time being, let's do this. Add itertools.izip_longest() in Py2.5 and include a recipe for izip_exact() and see if anyone cares enough to ever use it. The new any() and all() functions started out as recipes and graduated when their popularity was shown. If izip_exact() proves its worth, then I would be happy to add it as a tool.
