[Python-3000] Is this a bug with list comprehensions or not?

Would you do that only for genexps, or for generators
in general?

The current behaviour seems to be that if you explicitly
raise StopIteration in a generator, the generator then
considers itself to be exhausted (i.e. all subsequent
calls to next() raise StopIteration as well).

Is that behaviour deliberate? If so, do the reasons for
it also apply to genexps?
