And that bad boy should be...

     # Non-finalised semantics
     ex_block_2 = False
     arg = None
     while True:
         try:
             VAR1 = next(itr, arg)
         except StopIteration:
             ex_block_2 = True
             break
         arg = None
         BLOCK1
     if ex_block_2:
         BLOCK2

Indeed, I also mentioned this on Wednesday.

Though I was somewhat incorrect as code examples I offered express the actual intent.
