Reversing a dict?

[krumblebunk at gmail.com]

Hi - further to my earlier query regarding partial matches (which with
all your replies enabled me to advance my understanding, thanks), I
now need to reverse a dict.

I know how to reverse a list (with the reverse method - very handy),
but it doesn't seem possible to reverse a dict.

I suspect what I need to do is somehow go from:

thelist=list(thedict)
thelist.reverse()
thedict=dict(thelist)

Does anyone know how to convert / or reverse a dict?

thanks
