Currently, next() accepts an argument of what to return if the iterator is empty. Can we enhance that in some way so that the overall previous behavior could be retained? Something like: def middleware_generator(source_generator): it = source_generator() input_value = next(it, gen_exit=True) # or exc_type=GeneratorExit ? output_value = do_something_interesting(input_value) yield output_value Then, if the iterator is empty, instead of raising StopIteration, or returning some value that would then have to be checked, it could raise some other exception that is understood to be normal generator termination. -- ~Ethan~
