Having now read this entire thread I am going to accept Ping's PEP.
Adding the sentinel argument to the next() builtin was what did it for
me: it neatly solves the problem if having to catch that StopIteration
in 99% of the cases.
Attached is a possible implementation for the next() function, regardless
of how the next method is going to be called in the future.
