If the above is the complete while loop how you expect it to break out
of the loop?
Or did you do per Postgres docs?:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/plpython-database.html
cursor = plpy.cursor("select num from largetable")
while True:
rows = cursor.fetch(batch_size)
if not rows:
break
for row in rows:
if row['num'] % 2:
odd += 1
