Error dict object has no attribute iteritems

Question

I'm trying to use NetworkX to read a Shapefile and use the function write_shp() to generate the Shapefiles that will contain the nodes and edges, but when I try to run the code it gives me the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):   File
"C:/Users/Felipe/PycharmProjects/untitled/asdf.py", line 4, in
<module>
    nx.write_shp(redVial, "shapefiles")   File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\networkx\readwrite\nx_shp.py", line
192, in write_shp
    for key, data in e[2].iteritems(): AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'iteritems'

I'm using Python 3.4 and installed NetworkX via pip install.

Before this error it had already given me another one that said "xrange does not exist" or something like that, so I looked it up and just changed xrange to range in the nx_shp.py file, which seemed to solve it.

Hii,

In Python2, dictionary.iteritems() is more efficient than dictionary.items() so in Python3, the functionality of dictionary.iteritems() has been migrated to dictionary.items() and iteritems() is removed. So you are getting this error.

Use dict.items() in Python3 which is same as dict.iteritems() of Python2.

Thank you!!
