## By default, iterating over a dict iterates over its keys. ## Note that the keys are in a random order. for key in dict: print key ## prints a g o ## Exactly the same as above for key in dict.keys(): print key ## Get the .keys() list: print dict.keys() ## ['a', 'o', 'g'] ## Likewise, there's a .values() list of values print dict.values() ## ['alpha', 'omega', 'gamma'] ## Common case -- loop over the keys in sorted order, ## accessing each key/value for key in sorted(dict.keys()): print key, dict[key] ## .items() is the dict expressed as (key, value) tuples print dict.items() ## [('a', 'alpha'), ('o', 'omega'), ('g', 'gamma')] ## This loop syntax accesses the whole dict by looping ## over the .items() tuple list, accessing one (key, value) ## pair on each iteration. for k, v in dict.items(): print k, '>', v ## a > alpha o > omega g > gamma
