I suspect this is a brain-dead question... Given the following code, output is as expected:
$ cat test.py d = { 'a' : 1, 'd' : 2, 'b' : 3, 'c' : 0 } for i in d.keys(): print "%s\t%s" % (i, d[i]) $ python test.py a 1 c 0 b 3 d 2 $ But if the keys are sorted, I get an error: $ cat test1.py d = { 'a' : 1, 'd' : 2, 'b' : 3, 'c' : 0 } for i in d.keys().sort(): print "%s\t%s" % (i, d[i]) $ python test1.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 3, in <module> for i in d.keys().sort(): TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable $ What is the correct manner to iterate through sorted dictionary keys?
