The ‘itertools’ library in the Python standard library <URL:https://docs.python.org/3/library/itertools.html> has what you need: import itertools month_values = sorted(list(fut_suffix.keys())) month_cycle = itertools.cycle(month_values) month_choice = 7 three_months_starting_at_choice = [] while len(three_months_starting_at_choice) < 3: this_month = next(month_cycle) if this_month >= month_choice: three_months_starting_at_choice.append(this_month) -- \ “God forbid that any book should be banned.
