I understand that when iterating through a dictionary, it will be in arbitrary order. However, I need to make sure that one particular item is accessed last, and this item happens to have the smallest key. How should I implement this? Right now, I have files["h"] = DIRECTORY["h"][0] files["n"] = DIRECTORY["n"][0] files["a"] = DIRECTORY["a"][0] for key, file_dir in files.iteritems(): print ("Checking {0} in {1}".format(key, file_dir)) # process files The dictionary happens to be iterated in the order "a", "h", "n". I need to process "a" last because it's dependent on the files in "h" and "n". Is there a way to do this without running the process files code twice, once for "h" and "n", another for "a"?
