I would like to know how it is possible to extract the 4 keys from a dictionary with the highest values, and store these as a set. My dictionary looks like this:
my_dict = {Suzanne: 6, Peter: 9, Henry: 2, Paula: 275, Fritz: 1, Anita: 80}.
(The desired output in this case would be the set my_set = {Paula, Anita, Peter, Suzanne}
I sorted out the highest values present in the dictionary, using the command
sorted(my_dict, key=my_dict.get, reverse=True)[:4].
What would be the command to create a set containing these four keys?

Use set to convert list returned by sorted into set, that is
my_dict = {"Suzanne": 6, "Peter": 9, "Henry": 2, "Paula": 275, "Fritz": 1, "Anita": 80}
top = set(sorted(my_dict, key=my_dict.get, reverse=True)[:4])
print(top)
gives output
{'Paula', 'Suzanne', 'Anita', 'Peter'}
