Is Python Lazy?

[Dan Stromberg]

Generators and iterators are laziness where you tend to need laziness the
most.  Generator expressions are tiny generators - more full fledged
generators are supported.

Python probably won't have laziness at its core ever, but it's nice having
a dose of it.  IOW, you probably won't be able to write a sort routine, and
use it as a "first 100 lowest values" routine for free.  But you could
construct something that does almost the same thing lazily using a
generator - not for free.
