My first thought was next(), which I use occasionally:

    >>> items = (i for i in range(9))
    >>> items
    <generator object <genexpr> at 0x7f33251766d0>

    >>> first, second = next(items), next(items)  # 👀

    >>> first, second
    (0, 1)

    >>> tuple(items)
    (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)


No imports needed.  Is this deficient for the use case in some way?
