This is simply wrong. The StopIteration exception is a clear part of the generator protocol as described in 5.2.8 of the language reference; the language reference also refers to 3.5 of the library reference, which describes the iterator protocol (note, not the generator implementation -- all iterators work the same way), and explicitly mentions StopIteration as part of the protocol. -- [mdw] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
