I can't find a problem here. I tried simple dictionaries containing 
numbers as keys using Python 3.3, and sorting the keys works without any 
problem there. What exactly is the "trouble" you are having? Be a bit 
more precise and describe what you saw and, just in case, also what you 
expected to see.

BTW: You have a line continuation there using a backslash. This isn't 
necessary, since the pair of {} automatically tell Python the target range.


Good luck!
