And that bad boy should be...

         # Non-finalised semantics
         ex_block_2 = False
         arg = None
         while True:
             try:
                 VAR1 = next(itr, arg)
             except StopIteration:
                 ex_block_2 = True
                 break
             arg = None
             BLOCK1
         if ex_block_2:
             BLOCK2
