removing redundant elements in a dictionary

Hi,
I have a dictionary which looks something like this:
elem =
{"co":[1,2,3],"cp":[3,2,1],"pp":[5,6,7],"cl":[1,2,3],"qw":[6,7,8],"qa":[8,7,6]}
what Im trying to do is find all keys in the list that have the same
value and delete those (except one); thereby removing all redundant keys
so that the above dict will look like this:
elem = {"co":[1,2,3],"pp":[5,6,7],"qa":[8,7,6]}
my code so far looks like this:
for out1 in elem.keys():
for out2 in elem.keys():
if out1 != out2:
elem[out1].sort()
elem[out2].sort()
if elem[out1] == elem[out2]:
del elem[out1]
This returns in a KeyError exception when sorting. What am I missing here?
Thanks
Astan
