You would probably get a more helpful answer if you showed the code that is giving you a problem. See here: http://sscce.org/ Your question makes no sense to me. It is perfectly possible to iterate over a dict returned from a function: >>> def function(): ... d = {'asd':123, 'qwe': 456} ... return d ... >>> a = function() >>> a {'qwe': 456, 'asd': 123} >>> for x in a.iterkeys(): ... print(x) ... qwe asd Oscar -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
