In the python help for itertools, the following function is provided:
def consume(iterator, n):
"Advance the iterator n-steps ahead. If n is none, consume
entirely."
collections.deque(islice(iterator, n), maxlen=0)
What is the advantage of using a collections.deque against, say, the
following code?
def consume(iterator, n):
for _ in islice(iterator, n): pass
