Not sure what Computesegclass is but i am guessing that it is a class which
implements __getitem__ and __setitem__, which allows the use of the square
bracket notation cc[k], you could also write cc.__getitem__(k) , if you
really wanted to.
See http://docs.python.org/2/reference/datamodel.html#object.__getitem__

iterkeys returns an iterator over the dictionary keys, which is an object
with a next method which returns each key in the dictionary until there are
no more, then it raises StopIteration.
