How to access elements of Python dictionary by index?

To access elements of Python dictionary by index, we can use the key to access the item.

For instance, we write

my_dict = {
    "Apple": {"American": "16", "Mexican": 10, "Chinese": 5},
    "Grapes": {"Arabian": "25", "Indian": "20"},
}

a = my_dict["Apple"]

We use my_dict["Apple"] to get the value of the 'Apple' key in my_dict.

Therefore, a is {"American": "16", "Mexican": 10, "Chinese": 5}.
