Solution :

You should use OrderedDict (it requires Python 2.7 or higher).

Also please note that OrderedDict({'a': 1, 'b':2, 'c':3}) will not work since the dict you have create with {...} has already forgotten the order of the elements. So you should use OrderedDict([('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('c', 3)]).

If you follow above approach your issue will be resolved.

Get the key with the maximum value in the dictionary?
Problem: I have dictionary: keys are strings, values are integers. For example: stats = {'a':1000, 'b':3000, 'c': 100} I would like to receive 'b'as an answer since this is the higher value key. I used the given data using an intermediate list with key-value inverse ... inverse = [(value, key) for key, value in stats.items()] print max(inverse)[1] Is this a better (or even more elegant) approach?

what type of keys exists in dictionary of python?
Problem: I wanted to test if a key exists in a dictionary before updating the value for the key. I wrote the following code: if 'key1' in dict.keys(): print "blah" else: print "boo" I think this is not the best way to accomplish this task. Is there a better way to test for a key in the dictionary?
