One candidate for itertools I'd like feedback on is "ilines": a
universal newlines iterator. The idea is to take an iterator that
produces input blocks and yield lines as universal newlines would
produce them if the reads from a binary-opened file produced the
same blocks. This allows things like decompression to iterate in
parts rather than perform a full expansion. It would also make
pseudo-files from zipfile a later possibility.
For the curious, I have a Python version with tests at:

If people think this is a good idea, I could turn it into an
itertools patch.
