Py2neo upgrade

[jonathan_stowel]

I upgraded from py2neo 4.20 to 2021.2 and not I have some python scripts that no longer work. I have tracked down many issues but am stuck with one persistent error from code that looks like this:

params = [dict(zip(headers, row)) for row in list_of_tuples]
#curs = graphConn.run(cypher, parameters = {"parameters": params}).stats()   #  This was the old code that worked with 4.2
graphConn.run(cypher, parameters = {"parameters": params})  # this is the new code that does not work.

And here is the trace stack:

Does anyone have any ideas here?
