	Off hand, .iterkeys() is not doing much useful here. Most all
"iterator" systems are designed to generate/fetch the next entry WHEN
NEEDED. But you are passing it to a sort routine, and I don't know of
any lazy sort algorithm that can return the next /sorted/ item without
having processed all the items -- so that is effectively the same as 
sorted(cc.keys())
