>>> d = {"a": "first", "b": "second", "c": "third"}
>>> d.items()
[('b', 'second'), ('c', 'third'), ('a', 'first')]
>>> for key, value in d.items():
...     print "key is", key, "value is", value
...
key is b value is second
key is c value is third
key is a value is first

It isn't alfabetically because of the efficient way in which python
stores its dictionairies. Don't worry 'bout that!

regards,
Gerrit.
