That's true... let's see, next() takes a default value in case the
iterator is empty and then we could use some special value and test for
it. But i think it would be more elegant to just handle the excepten
ourselves, so:
>>> def split_product(p):
... w = p.split(" ")
... try:
... j = next(i for i,v in enumerate(w) if v.upper() != v)
... except StopIteration:
... return p, ''
... return " ".join(w[:j]), " ".join(w[j:])

It's ok, opening the eye for edge cases is always a good idea :)
