But those don't need an explicit raise because they are so
easy to generate:

>>> def spam():
...   yield 1
...   yield 2
...   iter([]).next()
...   yield 3
... 
>>> for i in spam():
...   print i
... 
1
2
>>> 

In fact, this alternative is shorter

>>> len("raise StopIteration")
19
>>> len('iter([]).next()')
15
>>> 

I'm definitely not saying this is a good solution!
