New submission from Eli Bendersky <eli...@gmail.com>: Regarding the sample code in: http://docs.python.org/library/itertools#itertools.izip_longest
If an IndexError is raised inside an iterator in the "equivalent" code from the docs, the generator stops and the error is swallowed. If an IndexError is raised inside an iterator in the "izip_longest_next" code in CPython's "Modules/itertoolsmodule.c", the generator stops and the error propagates. --- Reported by Adam Forsyth on the docs mailing list.
