> How about explicitly noting that in Python 2, a large fraction of usages of the
> iterkeys(), itervalues() and iteritems() methods (that's more than 99% in my
> experience, but I might be biased) should just be written as keys(), values()
> and items() in the first place, with no measurable difference of performance
> or memory usage?  I would recommend to anyone with a large Python 2
> code base to simply do a textual search-and-replace and see if any test
> breaks.  If not, problem solved.
