Hi BoB,

Ah, yes, thank you!  Yes, I was using Python 2.  I'll have to set up
Python 3 on my server and get some more experience with it during the
break, then!

Let me double check the docs... ok, yeah, I should be using the next()
function, since that's available in Python 2 as well.  Reference:
https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#next
