What is the time to actually run the iterator to the end and extract and print the solutions?

As indicated in the second note, in CPython (2.7 or 3.4) it's roughly the same as the eager version. In pypy the lazy version is about 3 times slower than the eager version.

Version from your post:

    > time python2.7 test_eager.py

Using `yield from` (3.4-only) and wrapping the solutions() call in a `list()`:

    > time python3.4 test_yield.py                    
    [(9567, 1085, 10652)]
    python3.4 test_yield.py  6.28s user 0.02s system 99% cpu 6.313 total
Using chain.from_iterable + imap (or map in 3.4) and wrapping the solutions() call in a `list()`:

    > time python2.7 test_imap.py                    
    [(9567, 1085, 10652)]
    python2.7 test_imap.py  6.52s user 0.02s system 99% cpu 6.558 total
