Does Java have generators? I am aware of the "Iterator" interface,
but it seems much more restrictive. Python generators are useful
for many more things than simply list enumeration, but the Java
Iterator seems limited.

No, it hasn't. One thing people do is to create threads that communicate
via a queue and block while that queue has an item in it. But of course
that comes at additional overhead of thread context switching.

What makes you think that Java's Iterators are more restrictive or
limited? As far as I understand, Java's hasNext/next protocol is
essentially the same as Python's next/StopIteration protocol. The main
advantage of the use of generators is that, when converting from a
callback-style or non-streaming function to one that produces values
on-demand, you don't have to rewrite your function to save intermediate
states (which can be a considerable amount of work).
A good explanation of the rationale for generators in Python is in the
"Motivation " section of PEP 255: http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0255.html

Below is an implementation a 'flattening' recursive generator (take a nested
iterator and remove all its nesting). Is this possibly general and useful
enough to be included in itertools? (I know *I* wanted something like it...)
Very basic examples:
>>> rl = , '678', 9]]
>>> list(flatten(rl))
>>> notstring = lambda obj: not isinstance(obj, type(''))

A little annoyed one day that I couldn't use the statefulness of
generators as "resumable functions", I came across Hettinger's PEP 288
(http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0288.html, still listed as open, even
though it's at least a year old and Guido doesn't seem very hot on the
idea). I'm not too sure of its ideas on raising exceptions in
generators from outside (although it looks like it might be convenient
in some cases), but being able...

It seems to me that in python, generators are not truly coroutines. I
do not understand why. What I see is that generators are used almost
exclusively for generation of lists just-in-time. Side effects are
frowned upon. Coroutines, in contrast, are like split functions where
side effects are often as important or more important than return
values. I am currently writing a real time strategy game where I have
visual effects and use...

As a side track of my latest investigations, I began to rely heavily
on generators for some stuff where I would previsouly use a more
conventional approach. Whenever I need to process a list, I'm tending
towards the use of generators. One good example is if I want to print
a report, or to work over a list with complex processing for each
item. In both cases, a simple list comprehension can't be used. The
conventional approach involves...
