[issue8267] Tutorial secion on dictionary keys recommends sort instead of sorted

[Kent Engström]

New submission from Kent Engström <kent at lysator.liu.se>:

The 2.[567] documentation recommends the use of the sort() method
to get a sorted list of dictionary keys. If would be less confusing
to new users if we recommended the sorted() functions instead.

The corresponding piece of Python 3 documentation already uses
the sorted() function.
