Note that the order is essentially random, because it's based on the hash
ordering of the objects in the dictionary.
Note that starting with Python 3.7, dictionary iteration order is guaranteed
to be the same as the insertion order. In earlier versions, the behaviour was
unspecified and could vary between implementations.
Applying :func:`iter` to a dictionary always loops over the keys, but
dictionaries have methods that return other iterators. If you want to iterate

Files also support iteration by calling the :meth:`~io.TextIOBase.readline`
