Your proposal seems two-fold: (a) make map/filter lazy and (b) have them as methods instead of functions.
It seems Tim borrowed Guido's time machine and already implemented (a) in Python 3.x, see http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/functions.html#map and http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/functions.html#filter.
Your second proposal-- which is better suited for python-ideas, really --is obstructed by iterators being merely a protocol (the next/__next__ method) which makes it hard to add those methods to one particular type. (This very discussion pops up every so often for str.join too.)
I'd recommend closing this issue.
