Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Actually it should be iteritems(). This is meant to support Mailbox, which has 
both iteritems() and items() methods. iteritems() returns an iterator and 
items() returns a list. Looks as changeset f340cb045bf9 was incorrectly applied 
to mailbox. Here is a patch which partially reverts changeset f340cb045bf9 for 
the mailbox module and fixes tests in 3.x.

Perhaps we should change items() to return an iterator in Python 4.0.
