Question

I have a dictionary:

a = {"w1": "wer", "w2": "qaz", "w3": "edc"}

When I try to print its values, they are printed from right to left:

>>> for item in a.values():
    print item,


edc qaz wer

I want them to be printed from left to right:

wer qaz edc

How can I do it?

Answer 1

You can’t. Dictionaries don’t have any order you can use, so there’s no concept of “left to right” with regards to dictionary literals. Decide on a sorting, and stick with it.
