The section about iterators in the Functional Programming HOWTO (https://docs.python.org/3/howto/functional.html#data-types-that-support-iterators) states the following about looping over dictionary keys: "Note that the order is essentially random, because it’s based on the hash ordering of the objects in the dictionary." Starting with 3.7, dictionary order is guaranteed to be the same as insertion order.
