Better to think that Python has generator expressions which can be used 
in list, set, and dict comprehensions (the latter two in 3.0 and maybe 2.6).

Generator functions using loops and alternation are easy laziness for 
cases not easily abbreviated  by generator expressions.  I see no reason 
to complicate the language with new keywords.
