def __iter__(self): (source)

The queryset iterator protocol uses three nested iterators in the default case: 1. sql.compiler.execute_sql() - Returns 100 rows at time (constants.GET_ITERATOR_CHUNK_SIZE) using cursor.fetchmany(). This part is responsible for doing some column masking, and returning the rows in chunks. 2. sql.compiler.results_iter() - Returns one row at time. At this point the rows are still just tuples. In some cases the return values are converted to Python values at this location. 3. self.iterator() - Responsible for turning the rows into model objects.
