def ksort(d, func = None):
    keys = d.keys()
    keys.sort(func)
    return keys

for k in ksort(d):
    print k, v

As a bonus, you don't need to tell the sort to sort numerically
vs. lexigraphically --- Python's strong typing knows that by
default.  You can pass in an alternate compare function if you
want.

And no, I haven't tested it.  ;)
