Python iterate over a dictionary

Question

In [26]: test = {}

In [27]: test[\"apple\"] = \"green\"

In [28]: test[\"banana\"] = \"yellow\"

In [29]: test[\"orange\"] = \"orange\"

In [32]: for fruit, colour          


        

Answer 1

In Python 2 you'd do:

for fruit, color in test.iteritems():
    # do stuff

In Python 3, use items() instead (iteritems() has been removed):

for fruit, color in test.items():
    # do stuff

This is covered in the tutorial.
