Description:
Trying to run syncdb with a fixture in django 1.6, with python 3.2:

./manage.py syncdb 
Creating tables ...
Installing custom SQL ...
Installing indexes ...
Traceback (most recent call last):

    for column in self.get_indexes(cursor, table_name).iteritems():
AttributeError: Problem installing fixtures: 'dict' object has no attribute 'iteritems'

The error is pretty simple: iteritems function was removed from python 3.*

How to repeat:
Try to syncdb in django with a fixture of some simple models, or just call make some unit testing on instrospection.get_primary_key_column

Suggested fix:
I've just commented in ysql/connector/django/introspection.py the las function "get_primary_key_column" (in django introspection.py module there isn't such function) and everything works fine, but I don't think that as was o good solution.

Other posibles solutions: 

*use utems in place of iteritems 

# Django 1.6
for key,val in self.get_indexes(cursor, table_name).items():
     if val['primary_key']:
         return key
     return None

* use django.utils.six.iteritems

Noted in 1.1.7 changelog.

For Django, introspecting to get the primary key of MySQL tables
could fail in Python 3.
