[Python-Dev] The current dict is not an "OrderedDict" (original) (raw)

This is just a reminder that the current dict is not an "OrderedDict":

from collections import OrderedDict OrderedDict(a=0, b=1) == OrderedDict(b=1, a=0) False dict(a=0, b=1) == dict(b=1, a=0) True

The recent proposal was primarily about guaranteeing the insertion order of dict literals.

If further guarantees are proposed, perhaps it would be a good idea to open a new thread and state what exactly is being proposed.
