I am writing a simple algorithms library that I want to work for both
Python 2.7 and 3.x. I am writing some functions like distinct, which
work with dictionaries under the hood. The problem I ran into is that
I am calling itervalues or values depending on which version of the
language I am working in. Here is the code I wrote to overcome it:

import sys
def getDictValuesFoo():
     if sys.version_info<  (3,):
         return dict.itervalues
     else:
         return dict.values

One alternative is to use itervalues and have 2to3 translate for you.
