Just to be clear: Exhausting the iterator is not the problem, as I 
thought as well at the first glance.

The problem is the fact that the loop body tuns multiple times - and so 
does the del statement. A

event = dict(Items=[1,2,3])
for e in event['Items']:
     if 'Items' in event: del event['Items']

runs perfectly, as the iterable is transformed to an iterator at the 
very start of the loop.
