Python Iterate Dictionary by Index

There are some very good answers here. I'd like to add the following here as well:

some_dict = {
    "foo": "bar",
    "lorem": "ipsum"
}

for index, (key, value) in enumerate(some_dict.items()):
    print(index, key, value)

results in

0 foo bar
1 lorem ipsum

Appears to work with Python 2.7 and 3.5

You can iterate over keys and get values by keys:

for key in dict.iterkeys():
    print key, dict[key]

You can iterate over keys and corresponding values:

for key, value in dict.iteritems():
    print key, value

You can use enumerate if you want indexes (remember that dictionaries don't have an order):

>>> for index, key in enumerate(dict):
...     print index, key
... 
0 orange
1 mango
2 apple
>>>
