I apologize if this has already been mentioned in this thread, but are
you aware of "d.keys()" and "d.values"?

  >>> d = {}
  >>> d['do'] = 'a deer, a female deer'
  >>> d['re'] = 'a drop of golden sunshine'
  >>> d['mi'] = 'a name I call myself'
  >>> d['fa'] = 'a long, long way to run'
  >>> d.keys()
  ['fa', 'mi', 'do', 're']
  >>> d.values()
  ['a long, long way to run', 'a name I call myself', 'a deer, a female deer', 'a drop of golden sunshine']
  >>>
