Alexey Kachayev added the comment: It's hard to evaluate how popular given recipes, but: * drop is opposite to take, so it's as popular as take * the same situation with splitat, splitby - it's one case of partition that's hard to write each time with enumerator (partition is already in documentation) * takelast, droplast was added cause itertools.islice doesn't support negative indices (which is ok). both functions have not obvious implementation - I'm sure that recipes will be good example for users how to work with iterators even if concrete functions aren't so widely-spreaded
