It's not an implementation detail. It's documented behavior. Thus quoth http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#mapping-types-dict : """ If items(), keys(), values(), iteritems(), iterkeys(), and itervalues() are called with no intervening modifications to the dictionary, the lists will directly correspond.
