First off, you shouldn't use 'dict' as a variable name, as it shadows
the built-in 'dict'.
If you really want to obfuscate this, you could use:
my_dict = {1: 'astring', 2: 'anotherstring'}
print "\n".join('Press %i for %s' % (key, value) for key, value in
my_dict.items())
I find this highly ugly and non readable, though.
