Iterator - what I am missing

[Steven Taschuk]

Quoth I:
  ['for x in iterable: mung(x)' works like...]
>     iterator = iter(iterable)  # get iterator object
>     try:
>         while True:
>             x = iterator.next()  # call its .next() method repeatedly
>             mung(x)
>     except StopIteration:
>         pass

A wee braino in the above.  Should be

    iterator = iter(iterable)
    while True:
        try:
            x = iterator.next()
        except StopIteration:
            break
        else:
            mung(x)
