OK, your are stupid ;-)
Why asking questions when you don't want to listen answers ?

Why an exausted iterator must return an Exception (other than
StopIteration of course) ?
Well an exausted iterator could be seen like an empty string or an
empty list (or tons of others things), so you expect the code
for car in "":
  print car
to return an Exception because it's empty ???
It's your job to check the iterator when it need to be.
