已经回答了，但由于一些人提到反转字典，下面是如何在一行中做到这一点(假设1:1映射)和一些各种性能数据:

python 2.6:

reversedict = dict([(value, key) for key, value in mydict.iteritems()])

+ 2.7:

reversedict = {value:key for key, value in mydict.iteritems()}

如果你认为不是1:1，你仍然可以用几行创建一个合理的反向映射:

reversedict = defaultdict(list)
[reversedict[value].append(key) for key, value in mydict.iteritems()]

这有多慢:比简单的搜索慢，但远没有你想象的那么慢——在一个“直接”100000条目的字典上，“快速”搜索(即查找键前面的值)比反转整个字典快10倍左右，而“缓慢”搜索(接近结尾)大约快4-5倍。所以最多查找10次，就能收回成本。

第二个版本(每个项目都有列表)大约是简单版本的2.5倍。

largedict = dict((x,x) for x in range(100000))

# Should be slow, has to search 90000 entries before it finds it
In [26]: %timeit largedict.keys()[largedict.values().index(90000)]
100 loops, best of 3: 4.81 ms per loop

# Should be fast, has to only search 9 entries to find it. 
In [27]: %timeit largedict.keys()[largedict.values().index(9)]
100 loops, best of 3: 2.94 ms per loop

# How about using iterkeys() instead of keys()?
# These are faster, because you don't have to create the entire keys array.
# You DO have to create the entire values array - more on that later.

In [31]: %timeit islice(largedict.iterkeys(), largedict.values().index(90000))
100 loops, best of 3: 3.38 ms per loop

In [32]: %timeit islice(largedict.iterkeys(), largedict.values().index(9))
1000 loops, best of 3: 1.48 ms per loop

In [24]: %timeit reversedict = dict([(value, key) for key, value in largedict.iteritems()])
10 loops, best of 3: 22.9 ms per loop

In [23]: %%timeit
....: reversedict = defaultdict(list)
....: [reversedict[value].append(key) for key, value in largedict.iteritems()]
....:
10 loops, best of 3: 53.6 ms per loop

过滤器也有一些有趣的结果。理论上，filter应该更快，因为我们可以使用itervalues()，而且可能不需要创建/遍历整个值列表。在实践中，结果是……奇怪的……

In [72]: %%timeit
....: myf = ifilter(lambda x: x[1] == 90000, largedict.iteritems())
....: myf.next()[0]
....:
100 loops, best of 3: 15.1 ms per loop

In [73]: %%timeit
....: myf = ifilter(lambda x: x[1] == 9, largedict.iteritems())
....: myf.next()[0]
....:
100000 loops, best of 3: 2.36 us per loop

因此，对于小偏移量，它比以前的任何版本都要快得多(2.36 *u*S vs.以前的情况下至少1.48 *m*S)。然而，对于接近列表末尾的大偏移量，它会显着变慢(15.1ms vs.相同的1.48mS)。以我之见，在低端产品上节省下来的少量成本，在高端产品上的成本是不值的。

for name in mydict:
    if mydict[name] == search_age:
        print(name) 
        #or do something else with it. 
        #if in a function append to a temporary list, 
        #then after the loop return the list

就是我的答案和过滤器。

filter( lambda x, dictionary=dictionary, search_age=int(search_age): dictionary[x] == search_age  , dictionary )

key = next((k for k in my_dict if my_dict[k] == val), None)

a = {'a':1,'b':2,'c':3}
{v:k for k, v in a.items()}[1]

或更好的

{k:v for k, v in a.items() if v == 1}

在我的情况下，最简单的方法是实例化字典在你的代码，然后你可以从它调用键如下

这是我们班有字典

class Config:

def local(self):
    return {
        "temp_dir": "/tmp/dirtest/",
        "devops": "Mansur",
    }

实例化你的字典

config =  vars.Config()
local_config = config.local()

最后调用你的字典键

patched = local_config.get("devops")
