I have been reading the thread (admittedly skimming). I've seen nothing yet to suggest that there's a useful change to Python in here. > The highly condensed tl;dr version is that list(d.items())[n] is sometimes > the fastest option, but sometimes not, it's not always faster (sometimes many > thousands of times slowe) nor the most readable version, but is more readable > than the next(iter(dict.keys()) alternative that's been mooted. I don't dispute any of that (except maybe the readability comment, which is subjective). But that's still just saying there are different ways *in current Python* to do this, with different performance characteristics. I guess if that's all you were saying, then I can just respond "yes".
