Google analytics error with eventLabel and totalEvents

[rippedathlete]

pandas 0.10.1, on OSX mountain lion, installed through pip.

So, this works fine for me,

events = ga.read_ga(['visits'],
                dimensions=["date"],
                start_date='2013-01-15',

                secrets=secretsfile,
                account_name="******************",
                property_id="***************")

But when I do the following,

events = ga.read_ga(['totalEvents'],
                dimensions=["eventLabel"],
                start_date='2013-01-15',

                secrets=sec,
                account_name="Ripped Athlete",
                property_id="UA-37875661-1")

I get this traceback (abbreviated)

StopIteration: 

Before I dig in further, I noticed that PythonParser._infer_columns doesn't handle the StopIteration that can be raised by PythonParser._next_line. Should we consider raising that exception to be normal operation and change _infer_columns to handle it, or should we figure out what strange mix of circumstances is causing _next_iteration to raise it?
