Until Alan comes with a more round answer, I'd suggest something along 
the lines of

[mc.set(x, y) for (x, y) in giant_list if x and y]

I'm writing this by memory, but check "list comprehension" in the 
documentation.

Anyway, there are map, reduce and such functions in python, but I think 
that in python 3.x you have to import them.

Now, the real question would be, can you use the cursor as an iterator 
(but without hitting the database for each new record)?
Then you can skip the worst part of loading all the values in giant_list.
Just an idea for Alan and the others to answer.
