I don't think there's a simple way to do what you want.
You could inspect the whole dictionary to find the keys that map to a
given value, like so:
def MyFunction(mydict, x):
for k1 in mydict:
for k2 in mydict[k1]:
if mydict[k1][k2] == x:
return "%s %s" % (k1, k2)
>>> print MyFunction(myDict, 'works')
>>> foo bar
