Pass a dict to a function in python
<p>I have the following function:</p>

<pre><code>def create_dict(dict={}):
    # build the dict
    receiver(dict)

def receiver(dict):
    item_1 = dict[item_1]
    ...
</code></pre>

<p>How would I correctly pass the dict to the receiver function such that I can easily retrieve the values from the keys?</p>
