how to return keys and values from a dictionary in python

Question

i have a dictionary that includes keys as string and values as list. My question is how to return the selected keys and values using for loop?

can i save the returned result in a variable in order to print later ?

dicts = {"location":["loc1","loc2","loc3"],"category":["cat1","cat2","cat3"]}

i tried these lines:

keys = sidebars.keys()
values = sidebars.values()
print("keys",keys)
print("values",values)

I want to return that the selected key has as values the following items.

{key1:[value1,value2],key2:[value1,value2]}

You just have to use the item method of dictionaries.

for key, value in dicts.items():
    print("key = ", key)
    print("value = ", value)
