[issue20727] Improved roundrobin itertools recipe

[issue13451] sched.py: speedup cancel() method

Raymond Hettinger added the comment: I no longer think this should be done. For most applications, cancel() speed is the least important task and isn't worth adding any extra baggage to the run() loop. The current cancel() code is only slow if the length is somewhat large (atypical for a

[issue34410] itertools.tee not thread-safe; can segfault interpreter when wrapped iterator releases GIL

Raymond Hettinger added the comment: Thanks for enumerating the options. I think 1 and 2 are the best combination. It is a reasonable restriction to not tee across threads. If someone still does, then detecting it, raising an exception, and not crashing seem like a reasonable response.

[issue26680] Incorporating float.is_integer into the numeric tower and Decimal
