5 Edit: in Python 3.x: Without using libraries it's possible to do it this way. Use method:
which returns a list of dictionary keys with values. It's necessary to convert it to a list otherwise an error will occur 'my_dict' object is not subscriptable. Then convert it to the dictionary. Now it's ready to slice with square brackets.

However:
Notice that inserting a new element changed what the "first" three elements were in an unpredictable way. This is what people mean when they tell you dicts aren't ordered. You can get three elements if you want, but you can't know which three they'll be.

I've only toyed around at best with other Python implementations (eg PyPy, IronPython, etc), so I don't know for certain if this is the case in all Python implementations, but the general idea of a dict/hashmap/hash/etc is that the keys are unordered.

Order of items in a dictionary is preserved in Python 3.7+, so this question makes sense. To get a dictionary with only 10 items from the start you can use
