Yes, provide a different API for getting different versions. Either a single methodcall for doing a retrieval of a particular item of a particular revision, or a methodcall for getting a 'view' of a particular revision, which you could then access like a normal dict, depending on whether such a 'view' would see much use. Or both, considering the dict-view solution would need some way to get a particular revision's item anyway:

class RevisionView(object):
    def __init__(self, db, revid):
        self.db = db
        self.revid = revid
    def __getitem__(self, item):
        self.db.getrev(item, self.revid)

How can I send a python dictionary to a QML interface with a Signal?

sorting - In Python, how can you easily retrieve sorted items from a dictionary?

Dictionaries unlike lists are not ordered (and do not have the 'sort' attribute). Therefore, you can not rely on getting the items in the same order when first added. What is the easiest way to loop through a dictionary containing strings as the key value and retrieving them in ascending order by key? For example, you had this: d = {'b' : 'this is b', 'a': 'this is a' , 'c' : 'this is c'}
