Hmm, I'm trying none of these and get a different result:
>>> def f(d):
... stack = [d.iteritems()]
... while stack:
... for k, v in stack[-1]:
... if k == "/":
... yield v
... else:
... stack.append(v.iteritems())
... break
... else:
... stack.pop()
...
>>> b = []
>>> for v in f(a):
... b.extend(v)
...
>>> b
[5, 6, 7, 8, 41, 42, 44, 1, 2, 3, 4, 68, 69, 66, 51, 52, 54, 21, 22, 23, 12,
13, 14, 15]
What am I missing?
