# Triggering and catching StopIteration try: it = iter([]); next(it) except StopIteration as e: print(f"Caught StopIteration: {e}") print(f"Type: {type(e).__name__}")
StopIteration is raised when raised by next() to signal that an iterator is exhausted. Always catch specific exceptions rather than bare except clauses.
