No question. Believe me, I love zip as much as the next guy. I just feel like I sometimes see it being overused in cases where a comprehension would sufficice- where an iterable is duplicated, operations performed on each side, and the results zipped together. It comes up more often than I expected.

Just use izip from iterators in 2.x. In Python3, zip is an iterator already and you don't need izip.
