title: Is there a more elegant way for unpacking keys and values of a dictionary into two lists, without losing consistence?
body: <p>What I came up with is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>keys, values = zip(*[(key, value) for (key, value) in my_dict.iteritems()])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I am not satisfied. What do the pythonistas say?</p>
