Here are some commonly used dictionary methods in Python:

  1. keys(): Returns a view object that displays a list of all the keys in the dictionary.

    my_dict.keys()
  2. values(): Returns a view object that displays a list of all the values in the dictionary.

    my_dict.values()
  3. items(): Returns a view object that displays a list of key-value pairs (tuples) in the dictionary.

    my_dict.items()
  4. update(): Updates the dictionary with elements from another dictionary or from an iterable of key-value pairs.

    my_dict.update({'age': 31, 'country': 'USA'})
  5. pop(): Removes the specified key and returns its value. Raises a KeyError if the key is not found.

    age = my_dict.pop('age')
  6. popitem(): Removes and returns the last inserted key-value pair as a tuple. Raises a KeyError if the dictionary is empty.

    last_item = my_dict.popitem()
  7. clear(): Removes all items from the dictionary.

    my_dict.clear()
  8. copy(): Returns a shallow copy of the dictionary.

    new_dict = my_dict.copy()

These methods can help you manipulate and interact with dictionaries effectively. Let me know if you need more details on any specific method!
