I wonder if this is a bug?

May I suggest you this variant? def raiseStopIteration(): raise StopIteration g = (n for n in range(100) if n*n < 50 or raiseStopIteration()) Well, there are more characters... But it is not using any syntax changes and does not require any approval to be functional. Yet it is as fast as the proposed variant, does not require modules and, I hope, will not confuse you or anyone else. This works as a generator, but not as a list comprehension. The exception is propagated instead of just cutting short the loop:

def r(): raise StopIteration print [i for i in range(10) if i**2 < 50 or r()]_ _Traceback (most recent call last):_ _File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in print [i for i in range(10) if i**2 < 50 or r()]_ _File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in r def r(): raise StopIteration StopIteration
