Yes, you are absolutely correct. In our production code, which is currently running 2.7, we make extensive use of the itertools versions of those functions (imap, ifilter, etc.) for this reason. The itertools functions behave exactly like the Python 3 builtins, as iterators. The memory footprint is minimal, and they are just overall faster.
