How to print a dictionary's key?

Question

I would like to print a specific Python dictionary key:

mydic = {}
mydic[\'key_name\'] = \'value_name\'

Now I can check if mydic.has_

I looked up this question, because I wanted to know how to retrieve the name of "the key" if my dictionary only had one entry. In my case, the key was unknown to me and could be any number of things. Here is what I came up with:

dict1 = {'random_word': [1,2,3]}
key_name = str([key for key in dict1]).strip("'[]'")        
print(key_name)  # equal to 'random_word', type: string.
