StopIteration
If you had written
for item in gen: print(i)
then StopIteration from gen would be caught.
One expansion of a for loop is (in the above case)
it = iter(gen) # not needed here, but is for general iterables
try:
while True:
i = it.next()
print(i) # or whatever the loop body is
except StopIteration:
pass
In other words, 'for i in iterable' expands to several lines of
boilerplate code. It is very useful syntactic sugar.
You left out the try..except part.
