Both are pythonic.
Use a genexp when you need a generator
and use a listcomp when you need a list.

This is all just making everything far too complicated. What you really
want to do is quite simple:

Yeah, but StopIteration is the only expected exception and therefore the

silently terminates that generator:
*any* exception raised from a generator, terminates the generator
