for a long list, you could try:
result = [mydict[k] for k in mydict]
or       [mydict[k] for k in mydict.keys()]
or       [mydict[k] for k in mydict.iterkeys()]
this won't give you the same order as your code though, if you want them 
sorted you can use the sorted function:
          [mydict[k] for k in sorted(x)] (or sorted(x.etc))
