Hi Dave!
You were absolutely right.
I don't want to iterate the entire dict to get me the key/values
Let us say this dict would have 20.000 entries, but I want only those
with "Aa" to be grabed.
Those starting with these 2 letters would be only 5 or 6 then it would
take a lot of time.

For new code, you'd of course want to write that as:
except SystemExit as exc:
which is compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.x, while the other

Modular code – that is, implementing the program functionality in small,
well-defined units with narrow, strictly-defined interfaces – is good
design.
Practical benefits include being able to easily
