One way to do this is to simply create two dictionaries at the same time.
Each dictionary is the mirror of each other.
dict1={'aa':1, 'bb':2]
dict2={1:'aa', 2:'bb']
Not very elegant, but it's simple. This assumes that your dictionary is one-to-one.
For example, this dictionary would not work:
dict1=['aa':1, 'bb':1]
