How to access a dictionary element by index?

Answer 1

Well, if you use the latest versions of python where the dictionaries are ordered, and if you completely stop:
my_dict = {'a': 11, 'b': 22, 'c': 33}

>>> my_dict[list(my_dict.keys())[0]]
11
>>> my_dict[list(my_dict.keys())[2]]
33
>>> my_dict[list(my_dict.keys())[1]]
22

But something doesn’t occur to me - in what real cases it may be needed

Answer 2

Dictionaries in Python are unordered collections of arbitrary objects accessed by key . They are sometimes also called associative arrays...

Answer 3

collections.OrderedDict
You can also throw it into enumerate later. But are you sure there is no other option?
