reversed(items) instead of items[::-1] generates the items on the fly.
Other building blocks may be sum() and itertools.chain:
>>> z = zip([1,2,3], "abc")
>>> wanted = reduce(lambda x, y: x + y, z)
>>> sum(z, ()) == wanted
True
>>> from itertools import chain
>>> tuple(chain.from_iterable(z)) == wanted
True
