How yield catches StopIteration exception?

Question

Why in the example function terminates:

def func(iterable):
    while True:
        val = next(iterable)
        yield val

but if I take of

Answer 1

Tested on Python 3.8, chunk as lazy generator

def split_to_chunk(size: int, iterable: Iterable) -> Iterable[Iterable]:
    source_iter = iter(iterable)
    while True:
        batch_iter = itertools.islice(source_iter, size)
        try:
            yield itertools.chain([next(batch_iter)], batch_iter)
        except StopIteration:
            return

Why handling StopInteration error: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0479/

def sample_gen() -> Iterable[int]:
    i = 0
    while True:
        yield i
        i += 1

for chunk in split_to_chunk(7, sample_gen()):
    pprint.pprint(list(chunk))
    time.sleep(2)

Output:

[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
[7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]
[14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20]
[21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27]
