Haven't Python iterators got a hasNext
method?
There's an alternative to the StopIteration
by using next(iterator, default_value)
.
For exapmle:
>>> a = iter('hi')
>>> print next(a, None)
h
>>> print next(a, None)
i
>>> print next(a, None)
None
So you can detect for None
or other pre-specified value for end of the iterator if you don't want the exception way.
