but i don't know much about Python iterators, so can't say what is difference. may be its' only simplicity since lazy lists is looks like and processed just as lists while generators in any other language is separate data structure
Thanks. In fact, I was stuck trying to find an example which couldn't be written using Python's iterators. The only difference coming up to my mind was that Haskell's lists are a more natural way to express a program relying on laziness. That was the reason why added the clause "at least not elegantly" in my first post. Cristiano
