take care with that kind of comparisons...
Especially look at the last two comparison ! the only difference is the 
construction of the list...

so what ? "Beautiful is better than ugly"
Make your choice ;-)

timeit.py -s"import re" "f = re.compile('.{2}')" "f.findall('aabbccddee')"
100000 loops, best of 3: 7.67 usec per loop

timeit.py -s"from chunk import chunks" "list(chunks('aabbccddee', 2))"
100000 loops, best of 3: 7.3 usec per loop

timeit.py -s"from chunk import chunklist" "chunklist('aabbccddee', 2)"
100000 loops, best of 3: 6.3 usec per loop

timeit.py -s"from chunk import chunksiter" 
"list(chunksiter('aabbccddee', 2))"
100000 loops, best of 3: 11.8 usec per loop

timeit.py -s"from chunk import chunksiter" "[ x for x in 
chunksiter('aabbccddee', 2)]"
100000 loops, best of 3: 15.2 usec per loop
