How do I convert a dictionary into a tuple? Below is my dynamic dictionary.
genreOptions = GenreGuideServiceProxy.get_all_genres();
genreDictionary = {};
for genre in genreOptions:
genreDictionary[genre.name] = genre.name;

Use the items() Function to Convert a Dictionary to a List of Tuples in Python. The items() function returns a view object with the dictionary's key-value pairs as tuples in a list. We can use it with the list() function to get the final result as a list.
Python's dictionary class has three methods for this purpose. The methods items(), keys() and values() return view objects comprising of tuple of key-value pairs, keys only and values only respectively. The in-built list method converts these view objects in list objects.
tuples = genreDictionary.items()
See http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#dict.items

Do you want to make (key, value) pairs? Here is code to generate a list of (key, value) tuples...
thelist = [(key, genreOptions[key]) for key in genreOptions]
Ahh I see there is a more efficient answer above...
thelist = genreDictionary.items()
But I want to include the list comprehension example anyways :)
