Hi Chris,

For the sake of reproducibility, let me show what I'm doing to search
for that in the repository, and show why I think the file you're
running is not a part of the one provided by the facebook-sdk package.

#############################################################
$ git clone https://github.com/pythonforfacebook/facebook-sdk.git

$ cd facebook-sdk/
$ git grep 'iteritems' $(git rev-list --all)

This is what piqued my concerns.  As you can see from the transcript,
the search shows that there's not a single use of 'iteritems' anywhere
in the facebook-sdk, across the entire history of that project.  And
yet the error message you're showing has a use of "args.iteritems()".
Therefore, there's a discrepancy there that needs to be explained.


Hope this helps!
