If I run the following code in the same module, it works correctly, but

      except    GeneratorExit:
          raise    StopIteration

The message appears to be purely informational, but I *would* like to
fix whatever problem it's reporting, and none of the changes that I've
tried have worked.  What *should* I be doing?

That code has a bare except, which is virtually always a bad idea
because it swallows _all_ exceptions. Maybe, in this case, it's
swallowing an exception that would tell you the cause of the problem.
