I learned Common Lisp before I learned Python, so I am not impress by generators, normally you can emulate them using closures, at least the ones I've used. Lazy evaluation also is a good way to obtain that kind of functionality. If you want to know the how this is a good article. He refers in that article to his library (slow-jam), which does several interesting things. You can also take a look at this.
