A quick note: Renaming the file allowed it to run successfully one
time.  Then it failed per usual.  Renaming it again did not help, so
that is not a repeatable test.

Changing %s to %r:

D4[''] = vsr
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "render5.py", line 115, in <module>
    create_report_index(each_item)
  File "render5.py", line 26, in create_report_index
    [clean_name, _] = each_value.split('_', 1)
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack
