Get key from dictionary

Question

I just started with Python,

Is there some iteration in dictionary like in PHP

foreach(aData as key=>value)

Answer 1

It looks like something like this :

my_dict = {"key1": 1, "key2":2}
my_dict.items()       # in python < 3 , you should use iteritems()
>>> ("key1", 1), ("key2", 2)

so you can iterate on it :

for key, value in my_dict.items():
   do_the_stuff(key, value)
