1 iteratee

I just read several tutorials on iteratee, i find that iteratee is
> similar to python's generator, both allow streamlined data
> processing. For example, i can implement enumFile and printChunks in
> python like this:
>
>     EOF = None
>     def enum_file(bufsize, filename):
>         with open(filename) as input:
>             while True:
>                 data = input.read(bufsize)
>                 if not data:
>                     break
>                 yield data
>         yield EOF
>
>     def print_chunks(print_empty, generator):
>         for chunk in generator:
>             if chunk==EOF:
>                 print 'EOF'
>                 return
>             if len(chunk)==0 and not print_empty:
>                 continue
>             print chunk
>
>     print_chunks(True, enum_file(2, "data"))
>
> But i find iteratee far more complicated than python's generator, is
> that because iteratee can do something python's generator can't, or i
> simply need to be more familar with functional programming style.
