python字典类型的维度,迭代python字典中的一个维度

i created a dictionary on 2 dimensions

myaddresses['john','smith'] = "address 1"

myaddresses['john','doe'] = "address 2"

How can i iterate over one dimension in the fashion

for key in myaddresses.keys('john'):

Bad news: you can't (not directly at least). What you did was not a "2 dimensions" dict, but a dict with tuples (string pairs in your case) as keys, and only the hash value of the key is used (as usually with hashtables). What you want requires a sequential lookup, ie:

for key, val in my_dict.items():

# no garantee we have string pair as key here

try:

firstname, lastname = key

except ValueError:

# not a pair...

continue

# this would require another try/except block since

# equality test on different types can raise anything

# but let's pretend it's ok :-/

if firstname == "john":

do_something_with(key, val)

Needless to say that it kind of defeat the whole point of using a dict. Err... what about using a proper relational DB instead ?
