When no iterables are specified, returns a zero length iterator instead of
iterables are of uneven length, missing values are filled-in with *fillvalue*.
Iteration continues until the longest iterable is exhausted. Equivalent to::
+ class ZipExhausted(Exception):
+ pass
+
def izip_longest(*args, **kwds):
# izip_longest('ABCD', 'xy', fillvalue='-') --> Ax By C- D-
fillvalue = kwds.get('fillvalue')

+ yield fillvalue

If one of the iterables is potentially infinite, then the

+ A common use for *repeat* is to supply a stream of constant values to *imap*
+ or *zip*::
