>>> for c, d in zip("abc", "xyzwillbeignored"):
... print c, d
...
a x
b y
c z
or, if i += 2 isn't there by mistake:
>>> for c, d in zip("abc", "xyzwillbeignored"[::2]):
... print c, d
...
a x
b z
c i
>>>
Using itertools.izip() instead of zip() doesn't create an intermediate list
of tuples which is an advantage when the zip/izip arguments are large
sequences.

What you propose already has a meaning and therefore _will_ break existing
code.
>>> for c, d in "ab", "cd":
... print c, d
...
a b
c d
