Besides all the good advice you've been given about not expecting
string/float comparisons to be meaningful, remember too that both your
function's result and the dict's .keys() method return *lists*.
>>> [1, 2] == [2, 1]
False

Easiest would be to convert both lists to sets and use
if set(prune(d,cp)) == set(d.keys()):
You could, instead, sort them before comparison, but that's only a win
if you need them sorted elsewhere.
