Yeah, it's a long way from that trigger function definition to a
working (i.e. failing) example.  Shortening the trigger might help by
eliminating some parts of the infrastructure that would need to be
shown --- but nobody's going to try to reverse-engineer all that.

It took some digging but I've found a very simple fix to this.

Somewhere (sorry, can't find it again) I read that a postgresql cursor is sometimes referenced as "portal".  This was when I was still pretty sure that this was a psycopg2 issue.

Further testing ruled that out--I wasn't getting the error on the psycopg2 commit statements, I was getting the error when the plpython3u function itself exits and tries to commit.

I only use one plpython3u cursor in that function.  The plpython docs say:

"Cursors are automatically disposed of. But if you want to explicitly release all resources held by a cursor, use the close method. Once closed, a cursor cannot be fetched from anymore."

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/plpython-database.html#id-1.8.11.14.3

Perhaps "pinned" in the error message means "open"?

I added a cursor.close() as the last line called in that function and it works again.

I haven't been able to come up with a test case that throws the same error, though, so I consider this a solution to what is very likely an odd corner case.
