I have this example dictionary of names and their jobs

my_dict = {'al': 'sales', 'tony': 'engineer': 'fred': 'support'}

I would like to print the name (key) of the entry in the dictionary if the job title (value) is match in an if statement.

job = input("what is the job?: ")

if job in my_dict.values():

   "print the key that has that job as a value"

How to do it?

Perhaps the key should be the job title, and the value for each job title a list of names? – cdarke Jan 19 '16 at 07:57
`for key, value in my_dict.iteritems(): if (your condition): elif(your condition): ` – Nikhil Parmar Jan 19 '16 at 07:57
