R. David Murray added the comment: Ramchandra is correct. If you were to implement a "don't sort" flag, what you would get is *random* order (and a different order each time, in 3.3+).
Further, this is Python-interpreter internal data structure we are talking about, so it isn't even an option to use OrderedDict in pydoc. I'm closing this as "won't fix" because it would certainly be nice to have this ability...but there is no practical way to implement it. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: -> wont fix stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17205> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
