To clarify, when the for-loop catches StopIteration, the for-loop
quits and stop looping, continuing to the next statement after the
loop block.

To be more accurate, in your case, the StopIteration is caught by the
enumerate() when it is enumerating collatz. The for-loop then loops
the generator expression returned by enumerate, when enumerate runs
out of things to return (i.e. when enumerate caught StopIteration
raised by collatz), enumerate raise StopIteration which is caught by
the for-loop.

To clarify, list append returns 'None' which, in python, means it is a
method/sub. In actuality, python doesn't recognize the difference
between method and function.
