bpo-30662: fixed OrderedDict.init docstring re PEP 468 by jonathaneunice · Pull Request #2179 · python/cpython (original) (raw)

Would be happy with it simply saying "Initialize an ordered dictionary. The signature is the same as regular dictionaries." I.e., just truncating it so not actively wrong wrt PEP 468. But it's a big change in semantic guarantees, so a bit more explantation might be warranted.

Pending further review, have tightened comment wording and made sure the C implementation has an equivalent comment. (Thanks to Serhiy Storchaka suggestion on bugs.python.org)
