Thanks for your quick response. I'm using python 3.6 in Anaconda 1.8.7
I fixed it by:

1. modifying init method in Matcher class:
   with open(pickled_db_path**, 'rb'**) as fp:
2. And replaced iteritems with items in same method:
   for k, v in self.data.items():

Even i am having the same problem but after doing this i have one more error

names, match = ma.match(s, topn=3)

AttributeError: 'Matcher' object has no attribute 'match'
please help me through this.
