I suspect the problem is that you misunderstand dictionary iteration.
Examine and understand:
	
     for row in someiterable:
         print repr(row)

     for row in someiterable.iteritems():
         print repr(row)


By the way, just use .items(), not .iteritems() if you have an older 
python (before 2.2, I believe).
