How can I get dictionary key as variable directly in Python (not by searching from value)?

Question

Sorry for this basic question but my searches on this are not turning up anything other than how to get a dictionary\'s key based on its value which I would prefer not to us

Answer 1

keys=[i for i in mydictionary.keys()] or keys = list(mydictionary.keys())

Answer 2

If the dictionary contains one pair like this:

d = {'age':24}

then you can get as

field, value = d.items()[0]

For Python 3.5, do this:

key = list(d.keys())[0]
