Or even:

def equal_items(iter1, iter2, key=lambda x: x):
    iter1, iter2 = iter(iter1), iter(iter2)
    for x, y in izip(iter1, iter2):
        if key(x) != key(y):
            return False
    return not any(izip_longest(iter1, iter2))

(untested)

Or even:

def equal_items(iter1, iter2, key=lambda x: x):
    iter1, iter2 = iter(iter1), iter(iter2)
    if any(key(x) != key(y) for x, y in izip(iter1, iter2)):
        return False
   return not any(izip_longest(iter1, iter2))
