Thanks! I'll save a copy of your posting for reference when I start
writing larger examples.
My current plan is to finish the itertools section and then write a
section on map/filter/reduce/lambda that also uses small trivial
examples as illustrations. Once those sections are complete, a final
section will examine an entire program in functional style (haven't
decided what this program will do yet). 
It's unlikely that I can construct an application that allows showing
every possible use of the itertools. Maybe there should be a cookbook
section. Or maybe it's better to put such things on ActiveState's
cookbook site. Hm.
