Select dropdown key for ipython widget

In creating an ipython dropdown widget,

from IPython.html import widgets
from IPython.display import display

d = {"1": "a", "2": "b"}

dropdown = widgets.Dropdown(options=d)
display(dropdown)

I can use 

print dropdown.value

to print the value of the selected key from the dropdown widget. How can I obtain the key ("1", "2") that is clicked in the dropdown? Using

print dropdown.key

does not work.
