R. David Murray added the comment:

I don't think it is worth adding as a special case.  Itertools has it because 
of what itertools is (a mini-language for manipulating iterables), but the 
legacy filter function has no reason to grow additional special cases beyond 
None.  (It's not even clear why it has that one special case :)
