Raymond Hettinger added the comment: I would be very careful going down this path. Regular dict ordering is not yet guaranteed and is subject to change. Its design was primarily about compaction and the ordering was a side-effect. In contrast, the data structure for collections.OrderedDict() was designed specifically for maintaining order. It is likely that there are some workloads where the regular dict would degrade significantly compared to ordered dicts.
