Python 2 has keys()/values()/items(), which return lists, iterkeys()/itervalues()/iteritems(), which return iterators, and viewkeys()/viewvalues()/viewitems() which return views. Python 3 has only keys()/values()/items(), which return views. To get iterators, one can use iter() or a for loop/comprehension; for lists there's the list() constructor. When iterating through the entire dict, without modifying the dict, the difference between Python 2's items() and iteritems() is negligible, especially on small dicts (the main overhead is extra memory, not CPU time). In the interest of simpler code, this patch changes many instances of iteritems() to items(), iterkeys() to keys() etc. In other cases, helpers like six.itervalues are used.

This is a set of libraries common to IPA clients and servers though mostly
geared currently towards command-line tools.
A brief overview:
config.py - identify the IPA server domain and realm. It uses python-dns to
try to detect this information first and will fall back to
/etc/ipa/default.conf if that fails.
ipautil.py - helper functions
entity.py - entity is the main data type. User and Group extend this class
(but don't add anything currently).
ipavalidate.py - basic data validation routines
