It'd be quite nice if dict.items() returned a namedtuple so all these x[0], x[1], el[0], el[1], etc would instead be x.key, x.value, el.key, el.value, etc. It would be more readable and more maintainable.

If you are doing for item in somedict.items(): process(item[0]) process(item[1]) you could do this instead: for key, value in somedict.items(): process(key) process(value) Does that help? -- Steven
