Can I search a list for a range of values?

[Troy S]

Can something like this be done with dictionarys?

For example, these are the keys in the dictionary from the call: dict.keys()

['20110601', '20110604', '20110608', '20110611', '20110615',
'20110618', '20110622', '20110625', '20110629', '20110702',
'20110706','20110709', '20110713', '20110716', '20110720', '20110723',
'20110727', '20110730', '20110803', '20110806', '20110810','20110813',
'20110817', '20110820', '20110824', '20110827', '20110831',
'20110903', '20110907', '20110910', '20110914','20110917', '20110921',
'20110924', '20110928', '20111001', '20111005', '20111008']

Is there a way to find all items between '20110809' and '20110911'?
So the subset would be:
['20110810','20110813', '20110817', '20110820', '20110824',
'20110827', '20110831', '20110903', '20110907', '20110910']

The keys are strings that represent a date in the format: 'YYYYMMDD'.
