Counter = 0
for word in stats.keys():
    if stats[word]> counter:
        Counter = stats [word]
print Counter

你可以使用:

max(d, key=d.get) 
# which is equivalent to 
max(d, key=lambda k: d.get(k))

要返回键值对，使用:

max(d.items(), key=lambda k: k[1])

试试这个:

sorted(dict_name, key=dict_name.__getitem__, reverse=True)[0]

我测试了接受的答案和@thewolf的最快的解决方案，对一个非常基本的循环，循环比两者都快:

import time
import operator


d = {"a"+str(i): i for i in range(1000000)}

def t1(dct):
    mx = float("-inf")
    key = None
    for k,v in dct.items():
        if v > mx:
            mx = v
            key = k
    return key

def t2(dct):
    v=list(dct.values())
    k=list(dct.keys())
    return k[v.index(max(v))]

def t3(dct):
    return max(dct.items(),key=operator.itemgetter(1))[0]

start = time.time()
for i in range(25):
    m = t1(d)
end = time.time()
print ("Iterating: "+str(end-start))

start = time.time()
for i in range(25):
    m = t2(d)
end = time.time()
print ("List creating: "+str(end-start))

start = time.time()
for i in range(25):
    m = t3(d)
end = time.time()
print ("Accepted answer: "+str(end-start))

结果:

Iterating: 3.8201940059661865
List creating: 6.928712844848633
Accepted answer: 5.464320182800293

更容易理解的方法:

mydict = { 'a':302, 'e':53, 'g':302, 'h':100 }
max_value_keys = [key for key in mydict.keys() if mydict[key] == max(mydict.values())]
print(max_value_keys) # prints a list of keys with max value

输出:['a'， 'g']

现在你只能选择一个键:

maximum = mydict[max_value_keys[0]]

key, value = max(stats.iteritems(), key=lambda x:x[1])

如果你不关心价值(我会很惊讶，但是)，你可以做:

key, _ = max(stats.iteritems(), key=lambda x:x[1])

我更喜欢元组解包，而不是表达式末尾的[0]下标。 我从来都不太喜欢lambda表达式的可读性，但我发现这个比operator.itemgetter(1)更好。
