How can I get dictionary key as variable directly in Python (not by searching from value)?

Question

Sorry for this essential inquiry yet my searches on this are not turning up something besides how to get a dictionary's key dependent on its value which I would not really like to use as I just need the content/name of the key and am concerned that looking by value may wind up returning at least 2 keys if the dictionary has plenty of entries... what I am attempting to do is this:

mydictionary={'keyname':'somevalue'}

for current in mydictionary:

   result = mydictionary.(some_function_to_get_key_name)[current]

   print result

   "keyname"

The explanation behind this is that I am printing these out to a document and I need to utilize the key name and the value in doing this 

I've seen the technique underneath however this appears to simply return the key's value

get(key[, default])

You need to iterate over keys with:

for key in mydictionary:

   print "key: %s , value: %s" % (key, mydictionary[key])
