-Note that the order is essentially random, because it's based on the hash

+Note that starting with Python 3.7, dictionary iteration order is guaranteed

 Applying :func:`iter` to a dictionary always loops over the keys, but
 dictionaries have methods that return other iterators.  If you want to iterate

 Files also support iteration by calling the :meth:`~io.TextIOBase.readline`
 method until there are no more lines in the file.  This means you can read each
