Hmm.  Color me slow  :-)

I see nothing in Lib/email/Iterators.py itself.  And just in case, I
tried loading it with python 1.5 and got the expected blow-up.

So I assume you mean something more devious than code.

Barry got his utility functions packaged with Python so that he could
just ship portable code, which would try to import these souped-up
functions, and fall back to pre-iterator forms if not available?

If so, Barry gets my Daily Machination Award  ;-)
