"them" being list comps and generator expressions?
The stop hack won't work in either (currently it does work in
genexps), but you'd get a different exception type if you attempt it.
This is correct. It's broadly similar to this distinction:
>>> {1:2,3:4}[50]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
KeyError: 50
>>> [1,2,3,4][50]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IndexError: list index out of range
In both lists and dicts, you can't look up something that isn't there.
But you get a slightly different exception type (granted, these two do
have a common superclass) depending on the exact context. But the
behaviour will be effectively the same.
