I was wondering if anybody knows how to enable or implement tab completion for dictionary keys in IPython? It seems like it wouldn't be very different from functionality that already exists, like tab completion of object attributes. If I'm wrong, then I'd like to understand why

Latex and Unicode completion IPython and compatible frontends not only can complete your code, but can help you to input a wide range of characters. In particular we allow you to insert a unicode character using the tab completion mechanism.
The methods dict. keys() and dict. values() return lists of the keys or values explicitly. There's also an items() which returns a list of (key, value) tuples, which is the most efficient way to examine all the key value data in the dictionary.
To print the dictionary keys in Python, use the dict. keys() method to get the keys and then use the print() function to print those keys. The dict. keys() method returns a view object that displays a list of all the keys in the dictionary.
Check If Key Exists using has_key() method Using has_key() method returns true if a given key is available in the dictionary, otherwise, it returns a false. With the Inbuilt method has_key(), use the if statement to check if the key is present in the dictionary or not.
IPython supports dict key completion for string keys since version 3.0.0 (despite not appearing in release notes), thanks to this patch. It also supports column name completion for numpy struct arrays and pandas DataFrame columns, and for other types that redefine __getitem__ through defining _ipython_key_completions_.
