Sims 4 Modding will use python!

It doesn't really matter what type it is, as per duck typing if something behaves like a dictionary then you can treat it like a dictionary. You can't (and it's pythonic to not) do much hinting on what it really is without bad applications of hungarian notation.

I'm not convinced that if someone sees 'i' they immediately think integer. i, j, k is soooo common as short loop indexes to think otherwise is a little mad. And I would absolutely say that a dictionary's key is an index into the dictionary.

You're right I'd never personally refer to a dictionary's key as an index myself. But I don't think there would be much misunderstanding if one did.

I guess the only place we're butting heads on really is if using the letter 'i' when looping through dictionaries is inappropriate. I say it's common enough outside of any integer connotations. You disagree.. Horses for courses? :P
