Your problem is that your lists contain strings ('2'), and not integers (2). Leave out the quotes, or use the following:

min_value = min(min(map(int, v) for v in dct.values()))
min_keys = [k for k,v in d.items() if min_value in map(int, v)]

Similarily, to calculate the keys with the max length:

max_length = max(map(len, dct.values()))
maxlen_keys = [k for k,v in d.items() if max_length == len(v)]

Also, it's a bad idea to use dict as a variable name, as doing so overshadows the built-in dict.
