Doesn't matter. Sometimes it makes sense to call it directly.
It only makes sense to call next (or .__next__) when you are prepared
to explicitly catch StopIteration within a try..except construct.
You did not catch it, so it stopped execution.
Let me repeat: StopIteration is intended only for stopping iteration.
Outside that use, it is a normal exception with no special meaning.
You cut out the part of my message where I wrote that one might have
forgotten the exception handling code that you posit is required, and
that the current behavior makes debugging this situation unnecessarily
challenging.
