Note that the first arg to dict.fromkeys doesn't need to have a .keys 
method - you can pass in any iterable, and even a single hashable (in 
which case your ditc will only have one key, of course).

 >>> dict.fromkeys('abc')
{'a': None, 'c': None, 'b': None}
 >>> dict.fromkeys(c for c in 'abc')
{'a': None, 'c': None, 'b': None}
 >>> dict.fromkeys((1,2,3))
{1: None, 2: None, 3: None}
 >>> dict.fromkeys('a')
{'a': None}
