Question

How about this function:

def checkKeyValuePairExistence(dic, key, value):
    try:
        return dic[key] == value
    except KeyError:

If you are using another type of dictionary other then the one python offers (I'm sorry, I couldnt understand from your post if you are using it or not) then let me know and i'll try to give your another solution
