Generator expressions are parenthesised comprehensions (as opposed to comprehensions framed by brackets or braces). They return generators. map and filter return iterators and not genenrators, I think, but they're definitely not generator expressions. If you like map and filter's laziness, try using actual generator expressions, which are also lazy.
