The attached patch fixes the "no space before parenthesis in Python" comment by Joel. The comment was for the changes in the test suite. Going by examples, I thought the test case code (but not the .exp files) did not require adherence to coding style. I also agree with Joel that this patch should also pushed to the 7.8 branch. ChangeLog: 2014-08-14 Siva Chandra Reddy gdb/ * python/lib/gdb/command/xmethods.py (set_xm_status1): Use the 'items' methods instead of 'iteritems' method on dictionaries. gdb/testsuite/ * gdb.python/py-xmethods.py (A_getarrayind) (E_method_char_worker.__call__, E_method_int_worker.__call__): Use 'print' with function call syntax.
