As Jelle says, this can't be a runtime Exception.
At best mypy or a linter could make iterating over an known empty list (like a
literal []) a warning, not an error as suggested by the OP. I sometimes
"comment out" loops by doing something like:
for i in []: # long_list_returning_function():
# lots of code here
I do this just to avoid re-indenting everything if I want to skip the loop
during development.
