How can I convert a dictionary into a list of tuples?

If I have a dictionary like:

{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}

JavaScript
​x
 
{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}
​

How can I convert it to this?

[('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('c', 3)]

JavaScript
 
[('a', 1), ('b', 2), ('c', 3)]
​

And how can I convert it to this?

[(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'c')]

JavaScript
 
[(1, 'a'), (2, 'b'), (3, 'c')]
​

>>> d = { 'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3 }
>>> list(d.items())
[('a', 1), ('c', 3), ('b', 2)]

JavaScript
 
>>> d = { 'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3 }
>>> list(d.items())
[('a', 1), ('c', 3), ('b', 2)]
​
