This is probably a noob question. For any dictionary ‘d’ in python is this always True:
dict( zip( d.keys(), d.values() ) ) == d
Are the keys and values returned in the same corresponding order ?
Yes it’s always true. Guaranteed by Python iff there are no intervening modifications to the ditionary.
Relevant spec: http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#dict.items
This is better generally, both because it protects against the dict going out of sync and uses negligible extra memory:
dict((k,v) for k,v in d.iteritems())
