Nick Coghlan <[email protected]> added the comment:
As Robert noted, the map() and filter() builtins in Python 3 are already lazy
and there's no reason to expand the iterator protocol for this functionality.
Map and filter also have dedicated syntax in the form of comprehensions and
generator expressions:
itr = (x for x in map(abs, range(10)) if x % 5 == 0)
Furthermore, the standard library already provides an entire module of tools
for creating and working with lazy iterators in both Python 2 and Python 3:
