Can I replace this for loop with a join?

Note that dict.keys() will return the keys in random order.

  print '\n'.join('Press %s for %s' for (k,v) in sorted(dict.iteritems()))

(untested) should print them in order.  Yes it is ok to use %s to
format integers.

Note: normally you should not call your dictionary 'dict', since
'dict' is a built-in value and overriding it could confuse people
and/or code.
