Create database failed - conflicting python version

Hi there! I am following this guide for my own side project (learning to setup for fun). https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OpenOPS/pages/146440579/Native+Open+edX+platform+Ubuntu+16.04+64+bit+Installation

Everything was okay until step 5. The error occurs when configuring database, as shown in the trace below.

TASK [edxlocal : create databases] *********************************************
An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv.

The error was: AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'iteritems'

This error should be due to Python 2 and Python 3. I believe my default python is Python 3.5. I re-run and get the same error.

Edit: I am using open-release/juniper.3

Hi, you should use open-release/juniper.master, but i don’t think that will fix the problem you are having. Are you sure you followed all the steps in the installation?

Hi! Yes, I followed all the step, but I did do some tweaks in between. I am using Linode. The requirements said Ubuntu 16.04, and the default python is python2, therefore I set the python to be python3 with priority of 10.

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 10

EDIT: it works by changing to open-release/juniper.master.
