The oldest known way to process data in Python is building up data in lists, dictionaries and other such data structures. Though such techniques work well in many cases, they cause major problems when dealing with large quantities of data. It's easy to find that your code is running painfully slowly or running out of memory. Generators and iterators help address this problem. These techniques have been around in Python for a while but are not well understood. Used properly, they can bring big data tasks down to size so that they don't require a huge hardware investment to complete.
