def collatz(n):
  r=[]
  while n>1:
    r.append(n)
    n = 3*n+1 if n%2 else n/2
    yield r

i = 1
while 1:
    try:
        last = x[:i]
        print x[:i]
        i += 1
    except StopIteration
        last.append(1)
        break

You will have to control the for loop yourself otherwise the
StopIteration is handled for you.
