 #### Returning a value from iteration
 
 This guide has so far shown how to use `Option<T>` to implement yielding values
-during iteration.  In Python a generator can also return a value. To express
-this in Rust, PyO3 provides the [`IterNextOutput`] enum to both `Yield` values
-and `Return` a final value - see its docs for further details and an example.

+raising a `StopIteration` exception. To express this in Rust, return `PyResult::Err`
+with a `PyStopIteration` as the error.
