Note that 

lambda a, b: ...

takes two arguments while

lambda (a, b): ...

takes one argument which must be a sequence (list, string, generator,...) of
two items.

So the above should probably be 

edges = list(G.edges())
edges.sort(key=lambda (u, v): (ddeg[u], ddeg[v]))
for u, v in edges:
    print ddeg[u], ddeg[v],
print


Here's how I would do it:

edges = [(ddeg[u], ddeg[v]) for u, v in G.edges()]
edges.sort()
for a, b in edges:
    print a, b,
print

(all untested)
