Looping seems to not follow sequence

Dictionaries are not ordered. If you need to rely on the ordering, you need an OrderedDict - there's one in the collections module in Python 2.7, or you can use one of the many recipes around.

Standard Python dictionaries are not ordered: there is no guarantee on which order the keys will be returned.

If you want your keys returned in the order in which you create keys you can use an OrderedDict from collections.

Alternatively, if you want your output sorted on the values of the keys the following would do:

for s in sorted(seq):
    print s
