Thank you! It is the anwser which I was looking for. [(k,v) for k,v
in  d.items() if v is pattern].
But I don't understand what tou mean of "reverse look-up a lot"! I
have to read some informations inclusive (latitudes and longitudes)
form a file and after some processing to save part of this information
to other file.
Why do I make a new dictionary?
