In a for-loop, StopIteration is caught by the for-loop for your
convenience (so you don't need to set up try-except of your own)
def collatz(n):
r=[]
while n>1:
r.append(n)
n = 3*n+1 if n%2 else n/2
yield r
for i, x in enumerate(collatz(13)):
last = x[:i+1]
print x[:i+1]
last.append(1)
print last
PS: btw, you can't write 'print last.append(1)' because list
operations like append doesn't return itself.
