Python's built-in dictionary class has values() method which returns list of value component from each key-value pair. Using built-in function max() the largest value in the dictionary can be obtained
>>> dct={1:45,2:76,3:12,4:55,5:33} >>> vlist=dct.values() >>> vlist dict_values([45, 76, 12, 55, 33]) >>> max(vlist) 76
