title: Search through dictionary key with string, not object
body: <p>I'm trying to extract values froma key in a dictinoary, but when I search for the key, I want to use a 'string' and not an object. Right now, with dict.get, it tells me I need to search for a key with an object, so is there another built in function or anything that can search for a key with a string and not an object?  </p>
  
  <pre><code>dict.get('someKey',' ')# looks for the key 'someKey'. If that key isn't found, a blank ' ' is returned
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>AFTER ANSWERS:</p>
  
  <p>Thanks everyone! So it would look something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>yourDictionary.get('someKey',' ')# looks for the key 'someKey' in dictionary 'yourDictinoary'. If that key isn't found, a blank ' ' is returned
  </code></pre>
