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.
Hi, I recently tried writing some code to simulate a certain protocol in Python. I thought I'll go the "smart" way and rely on the Python yield construct to do a CPS transformation of my code. While this worked to a certain extent, composability was a problem, because any sub-procedure which used yield (and thus was an iterator) required being called in a rather inelegant way.
I think I'll investigate Python's Iterator composability. Cristiano
