Python Dictionary keys() method - GeeksforGeeks

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

keys() method in Python dictionary returns a view object that displays a list of all the keys in the dictionary. This view is dynamic, meaning it reflects any changes made to the dictionary (like adding or removing keys) after calling the method. Example:

d = {'A': 'Geeks', 'B': 'For', 'C': 'Geeks'}

k = d.keys()

print(k)

dict_keys(['A', 'B', 'C'])

Explanation: keys() method returns a view of all keys present in the dictionary d. In this example, it returns the keys 'A', 'B', and 'C'.

Note: keys() method is only available for dictionary objects. If called on a non-dictionary object, it will raise an AttributeError.

dict.keys()

Here, dict is the dictionary from which the keys are to be returned.

Parameters:

• No parameters are required.

Return Type: It returns a view object that displays a list of all the keys in the dictionary.

d = {'A': 'Geeks', 'B': 'For', 'C': 'Geeks'}

for k in d.keys():
    print(k)

Explanation: keys() method returns a view object that can be iterated over, allowing access to each key in the dictionary.

d = {'A': 'Geeks', 'B': 'For', 'C': 'Geeks'}

k = d.keys()

# Adding a new key-value pair to the dictionary
d['D'] = "Python"

print(k)

dict_keys(['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'])

Explanation:

• d.keys() returns a dynamic view object of the dictionary's keys.
• k holds the view object referencing the current keys in d.
• d['D'] = "Python" adds new key 'D' having value Python, it's automatically reflected in k because view objects are dynamic.

d = {'A': 'Geeks', 'B': 'For', 'C': 'Geeks'}

kl = list(d.keys())

print(kl)

Explanation: keys() method returns a view object but by using list(), we can convert it into a list for further operations like indexing.
