How to extract all fields minus a couple from a dictionary?

Question

I know that I can create a subset of a dictionary by the following code:

#I get only fields a,b and c from the old dict
newdict = {k: olddict.get(k, None) for k in ('a', 'b', 'c')}

but suppose I need all fields, except "d" and "e"..is there a way to reverse this code?

Just inverse it with not keyword:

newdict = {k: olddict.get(k, None) for k in olddict if k not in ('d', 'e')}
