I don't know if this is the best solution, but what I usually do is create a list that matches the key:
mydict = {} mylist = [] for x in range(1, 10): key = raw_input("Enter the key: ") mydict[key] = value mylist.append(key) You just have to change it to read from a file/hard code all the tags or what not.
