Python 3 changed the semantics of dict.items() [0], which now returns a
iterable 'view' instead of a list of tuples. This has the repercussion
that you can no longer check for membership of a key using:
key in dict.items()
This patch simply replaces that check with a test for the key existing
in the dict itself, rather than the items.
