A simple change would be using "items()" instead of "iteritems()".
Or else, you may prefer to loop over keys, and retrieve values, either:
for k in a.keys():
if a[k] == 2:
del a[k]
or:
for k in set(a):
if a[k] == 2:
del a[k]
But in no way, you may directly iterate over the original dictionary
while altering its keys, this is explicitly forbidden in Python.
