FWIW, if you're interested in load balancing applications, George Sakkis's 
itertools 
recipe for roundrobin() may be of interest.

Another interesting iterator technique that is not well known is the 
two-argument 
form of iter() which is a marvel for transforming callables into iterators:

    for block in iter(partial(f.read, 1024), ''):
           ...

    for diceroll in iter(partial(randrange(1, 7), 4):
           ...
