They don't have to be iterators, just iterables, right? They could
return a one of these:

class QuantumList:
    def __init__(self, iterable):
        self.iter = iter(iterable)
        self.list = []
    def __iter__(self):
        yield from self.list
        while "moar stuff":
            try: val = next(self.iter)
            except StopIteration: return
            self.list.append(val)
            yield val
    def __repr__(self):
        self.list.extend(self.iter)
        return repr(self.list)

This object has a generator/list duality, but if you observe it, it
collapses to a list. When used interactively, it'd be pretty much the
same as calling list() as the last step, but in a script, they'd
operate lazily.

Quantum computing is here already!
