Take the first n items of an iterator

I thought there was an iterator in itertools for taking the first n items
of an iterator, then halting, but I can't find it. Did I imagine such a
tool, or am I missing something?

`itertools.islice()`

Thanks Marc, time to check my glasses I think, I must have looked at that
