python – How to print a dictionarys key?

A dictionary has, by definition, an arbitrary number of keys. There is no the key. You have the keys() method, which gives you a python list of all the keys, and you have the iteritems() method, which returns key-value pairs, so

for key, value in mydic.iteritems() :
    print key, value

Python 3 version:

for key, value in mydic.items() :
    print (key, value)

So you have a handle on the keys, but they only really mean sense if coupled to a value. I hope I have understood your question.

Additionally you can use….

print(dictionary.items()) #prints keys and values
print(dictionary.keys()) #prints keys
print(dictionary.values()) #prints values

Hmm, I think that what you might be wanting to do is print all the keys in the dictionary and their respective values?

If so you want the following:

for key in mydic:
  print the key name is + key + and its value is + mydic[key]

Make sure you use +s instead of , as well. The comma will put each of those items on a separate line I think, where as plus will put them on the same line.
