Presumably you want to get back a list or tuple, so a list
comprehension is your best bet.

[mydict.get(i) for i in ('a','b','c')]

Incidentally, are you aware that dictionaries can be subscripted? The
get() method is good when you want a default value for anything that
doesn't exist, otherwise you can simply use:

mydict['a']
