Python Dictionary

Question

I have a dictionary {1:2, 2:2, 3:3, 4:3, 5:1}.
I want to retrieve the smallest key with maximum value. As clear from the dictionary, maximum value is 3 for both keys 3 and 4. But out of keys 3 and 4 the minimum is 3, so how can I retrieve this 3 from the dictionary and return it from the function ?

Answer 1

a={1:2, 2:2, 3:3, 4:3, 5:1}
b=[]
for i in a.keys():
if a[i]==max(a.values()):
b.append(i)

print(min(b))

Answer 3

It is a shortcut of Abhay s solution:
k, v of d. items() returns keys and values.
We need min k of all k which have v as max of d.values()
