The code:

                  print ("chunks =")
                  print (repr(chunks), ".", end = ":")
produces this result:
    . . ., by
pre-chunkLine
caught exception
at finally
path  3...

Any suggestions as to what's wrong with the code?
FWIW, chunkLine begins:
      def chunkLine (self, line):
          print    ("chunkLine: ")
          print ("line = ", line)
          if    line == None:
              return    []
          assert    (isinstance (line, str) )

Don't use a bare "except"; it'll catch _any__exception. Catch only what
you expect.

For all I know, it could be that the name "l" doesn't exist.
