Personally, I've never missed an ordered dict. What do people use them for? In fact, I'm not sure what people mean by ordered dicts. I assume they mean the keys are ordered, not the values. But ordered by what? Insertion order? Modification order? Alphabetical order? -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
