Complete newbie question about searching dictionaries

Hi, I started using python 2.7 last week, so am (as yet) utterly hopeless. I'm trying to define a function to search a dictionary of exam results, and return an answer for who got a result above 70. Could anyone possibly help me with my code? Thanks!

marks={"John":45,"Suzy":46,"Edward":75,"Mike":66}
def who_got_above_seventy(x):
for p in x:
if p>=70:
print p

Thanks!

Code:

marks={"John":45,"Suzy":46,"Edward":75,"Mike":66}

def who_got_above_seventy(x):
    for (name,score) in x.items():
        if score>=70:
            print(name)

who_got_above_seventy(marks)

Read the documents docs.python.org about dictionary methods.

In the interpreter use
>>> help(dict())
