You mean if the genexp leaks one? That's basically an error either way - the genexp will raise RuntimeError, but it's still an exception. >>> from __future__ import generator_stop >>> def boom(): raise StopIteration ... >>> [x if x < 3 else boom() for x in range(5)] Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "<stdin>", line 1, in <listcomp> File "<stdin>", line 1, in boom StopIteration >>> list(x if x < 3 else boom() for x in range(5)) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <genexpr> File "<stdin>", line 1, in boom StopIteration The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> RuntimeError: generator raised StopIteration >>> So that's _one_ difference removed (mostly).
