Which would be the most purely functional equivalent to generators?
Functional programming does not have to be pure or stateless.  There's no strict rule.  Languages that are designed to support first-class functions and higher-order functions can still be considered functional languages.  For instance, Standard ML has support for mutable variables but is still considered a functional language.

Also, functional programming can be considered a style of organizing your program rather than a property of a programming language.  So, it is possible to use Python in a functional way.

A Python generator can be written in a way so that it is purely functional: e.g., it produces a lazy list/stream and operates in a purely functional way.  Internally, generators might be implemented in a way that involves state, but from the outside (from the perspective of code that invokes a generator), I think it is possible to write the generator so it behaves in an observationally pure way (i.e., observationally indistinguishable from pure).

I'm not sure what you mean by "purely functional alternatives for having a construct similar to generators" so I don't know how to answer that part.
