First, the indentation is all gone, pleae make sure you 
post using plain text so that indentation is preserved. 
I know thats not always esy depending on the mail tool 
but it helps a lot with Python!

> ### the code

newRS isn't defined yet...

Neither is newKeys...

    > newPk = newPk + str(newRecord[nKey]).strip()

Without any idea of what newRecord or newKeys looks like its 
hard to know if this is right or not, assuming it is...

    > newKeyRS.append((newPk, newRecord))
    > if newPk[:5]=='15000': 
         print (newPk, newRecord)
 
> print '        ----'

Is this supposed to be inside the if?
Or even inside the loop?

     > if newRecord[0][:5]=='15000': 
           print newRecord

So what did you expect? What came out looks like what 
you put in assuming that the dictionary is what 
newRecord looked like originally.

What exactly do you perceive to be the problem? I 
assume its the fact that only the even numbers 
are printing in the second set? I don;t know why 
thats happening because I'm not exactly sure whats 
happening in the section above.
