Raymond Hettinger added the comment: I think the current behavior is correct and desirable (as you say, it follows the order that would take place in an assignment, making it easy to roll-up existing for-loop code into a dict comprehension or to unroll and existing comprehension). Also, I think changing the behavior might risk introducing bugs into existing code that may have unconsciously relied on the existing order. My recommendation is to document the current value-first behavior.
For the other issue, 11205, I agree with the discussion there that key-first-value-second makes more sense in the context of literals which are normally evaluated left-to-right. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29652> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
