---------------------------------

 >>> a = itertools.izip(*itertools.izip(range(10),range(10)))
 >>> a
<itertools.izip object at 0x40164f2c>

 >>>a.next()
(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
 >>> a.next()
(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
 >>> a.next()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
StopIteration
