print "x", dict.iteritems(), except Exception, e. It happens most in older files.

Copilot mirrors the file. If the file is old code, it completes old code. Run pyupgrade --py312-plus over the repo once; after that the nearby code is modern and so are the completions. Comments do almost nothing; surrounding code does everything.
