Remove an item from a dictionary when its key is unknown

Question

What is the best way to remove an item from a dictionary by value, i.e. when the item\'s key is unknown? Here\'s a simple approach:

for key, item in some_di         


        

Answer 1

This is how I would do it.

for key in some_dict.keys():
    if some_dict[key] == item_to_remove:
        some_dict.pop(key)
        break
