Loop through all nested dictionary values?

Question

for k, v in d.iteritems():
    if type(v) is dict:
        for t, c in v.iteritems():
            print \"{0} : {1}\".format(t, c)

Here's a modified version of Fred Foo's answer for Python 2. In the original response, only the deepest level of nesting is output. If you output the keys as lists, you can keep the keys for all levels, although to reference them you need to reference a list of lists.

Here's the function:

def NestIter(nested):
    for key, value in nested.iteritems():
        if isinstance(value, collections.Mapping):
            for inner_key, inner_value in NestIter(value):
                yield [key, inner_key], inner_value
        else:
            yield [key],value

To reference the keys:

for keys, vals in mynested: 
    print(mynested[keys[0]][keys[1][0]][keys[1][1][0]])

for a three-level dictionary.

You need to know the number of levels before to access multiple keys and the number of levels should be constant (it may be possible to add a small bit of script to check the number of nesting levels when iterating through values, but I haven't yet looked at this).
