But you could use items() instead:

print(name, val)
Sure. But my point was that the dict_keys object is very often unnecessary, not that all the views aren't useful. And it really is mostly only there for symmetry with dict_items(), which IS needed.
I'm on the fence though -- I think it adds clarity, even if it's unnecessary.
