When I do:

d = {'x': 1, 'y': 2, 'z': 'randy'}

print(d.keys())

The result is: 

dict_keys(['x', 'y', 'z'])

Why is there the dict_keys? Is there a way to get rid of it?

  • `print(list(d.keys())`, or `print(" ".join(str(key) for key in d.keys()))`, depending on what output format you'd like. –  Jul 22 '17 at 10:06

    The short answer is: because it's a dict_keys object. – jonrsharpe Jul 22 '17 at 10:14

Convert it to a list.

>>> print(list(d.keys()))
['z', 'x', 'y']
