I have:

dictionary = {\"foo\":12, \"bar\":2, \"jim\":4, \"bob\": 17}

I want to iterate over this dictionary, but over the values instead of the

    >>> d = {"foo": 12, "bar": 2, "jim": 4, "bob": 17}
    >>> [k for k, v in d.items() if v > 6] # Use d.iteritems() on python 2.x
    ['bob', 'foo']
    

    I'd like to just update this answer to also showcase the solution by @glarrain which I find myself tending to use nowadays.

    [k for k in d if d[k] > 6]
    

    This is completely cross compatible and doesn't require a confusing change from .iteritems (.iteritems avoids saving a list to memory on Python 2 which is fixed in Python 3) to .items.

    @Prof.Falken mentioned a solution to this problem

    from six import iteritems
    

    which effectively fixes the cross compatibility issues BUT requires you to download the package six

    However I would not fully agree with @glarrain that this solution is more readable, that is up for debate and maybe just a personal preference even though Python is supposed to have only 1 way to do it. In my opinion it depends on the situation (eg. you may have a long dictionary name you don't want to type twice or you want to give the values a more readable name or some other reason)

    Some interesting timings:

    In Python 2, the 2nd solution is faster, in Python 3 they are almost exactly equal in raw speed.


    $ python -m timeit -s 'd = {"foo": 12, "bar": 2, "jim": 4, "bob": 17};' '[k for k, v in d.items() if v > 6]'
    1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.772 usec per loop
    $ python -m timeit -s 'd = {"foo": 12, "bar": 2, "jim": 4, "bob": 17};' '[k for k, v in d.iteritems() if v > 6]'
    1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.508 usec per loop
    $ python -m timeit -s 'd = {"foo": 12, "bar": 2, "jim": 4, "bob": 17};' '[k for k in d if d[k] > 6]'
    1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.45 usec per loop
    
    $ python3 -m timeit -s 'd = {"foo": 12, "bar": 2, "jim": 4, "bob": 17};' '[k for k, v in d.items() if v > 6]'
    1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.02 usec per loop
    $ python3 -m timeit -s 'd = {"foo": 12, "bar": 2, "jim": 4, "bob": 17};' '[k for k in d if d[k] > 6]'
    1000000 loops, best of 3: 1.02 usec per loop
    

    However these are only tests for small dictionaries, in huge dictionaries I'm pretty sure that not having a dictionary key lookup (d[k]) would make .items much faster. And this seems to be the case

    $ python -m timeit -s 'd = {i: i for i in range(-10000000, 10000000)};' -n 1 '[k for k in d if d[k] > 6]'
    1 loops, best of 3: 1.75 sec per loop
    $ python -m timeit -s 'd = {i: i for i in range(-10000000, 10000000)};' -n 1 '[k for k, v in d.iteritems() if v > 6]'
    1 loops, best of 3: 1.71 sec per loop
    $ python3 -m timeit -s 'd = {i: i for i in range(-10000000, 10000000)};' -n 1 '[k for k in d if d[k] > 6]'
    1 loops, best of 3: 3.08 sec per loop
    $ python3 -m timeit -s 'd = {i: i for i in range(-10000000, 10000000)};' -n 1 '[k for k, v in d.items() if v > 6]'
    1 loops, best of 3: 2.47 sec per loop

    To just get the values, use dictionary.values()

    To get key value pairs, use dictionary.items()

    Use items or iteritems on dictionary. Something like:

    list = []
    for k, v in dictionary.iteritems():
      if v > 6:
        list.append(k)
    print list

    How about this:

    dictionary = {"foo":12, "bar":2, "jim":4, "bob": 17}
    for val in dictionary.values():
        # do something

    I think the best way to do this (considering migration to Python 3) is

    >>> mydict = {'foo': 12, 'bar': 2, 'jim': 4, 'bob': 17}
    >>> [k for k in mydict if mydict[k] > 6]
    ['bob', 'foo']
    

    The criteria for "best" is readability.

    It depends if you would like to modify the dictionary (add or remove items) or not. If not then you could try:

    for value in dictionary.itervalues():  #this returns a generator
         print "do something with the value"
    

    Alternatively if you modify the dictionary you should iterate over a copy of values:

    for value in dictionary.values():  #this returns a list of values
         print "do something with the value"
    

    If you would like both keys and values you can iterate over pairs using dictionary.iteritems() or dictionary.items()
