Please let me know what you think – I'd love to hear any new feedback that hasn't yet been addressed in the PEP!
I still don't buy your dismissal of the new function alternative. In particular:
It seems that a great deal of the motivation driving this alternative is that zip_longest already exists in itertools. However, zip_longest is really another beast entirely: it takes on the responsibility of filling in missing values, a problem neither of the other variants even have.
But zip_equals() is also another beast entirely; it takes on the responsibility of raising an exception, a problem neither of the other variants even have. -- Rhodri James *-* Kynesim Ltd
