A PEP for adding a simple generator to a library of generators?? The function does look useful to me. It's useful even if it returns a tuple instead of a list, or if it doesn't support padding. It's still better than nothing, and can still be succesfully used even if it requires some smallish wrapper to achieve the exact functionality. I know I have been implementing something similar very often. Since when do we need a full PEP process, nitpicking the small details to death, just to add a simple function?
