I would be super excited for this feature, so if there's a reasonable chance of it being picked up I don't mind doing the implementation work.

Yes, but wasn't planning on dusting it off yet (i.e. in time for 3.6). I'm certainly not opposed to someone picking up the banner. > IIRC that PEP was one of the > motivating use cases for implementing OrderedDict in C. Correct, though I'm not sure OrderedDict needs to be involved any more. > Maybe it's time for > a second round of discussion on Python-ideas? Fine with me, though I won't have a lot of time in the 3.6 timeframe to handle a high-volume discussion or push through an implementation. -eric
