That's not a dictionary, it's a syntax error. If you actually
have a dictionary you could say

d = {'a' : 1, 'b' : 3, 'c' : 2,'d' : 3,'e' : 1,'f' : 4}

dd = {}

for key, value in d.items():
  try:
    dd[value].append(key)
  except KeyError:
    dd[value] = [key]

Possibly dd is now what you really want; if you really
want what you said you want you could use

[l for l in dd.values() if len(l) > 1]
