I must think the API good because I have been implementing, in parallel with this discussion, my own "OrderedDict" with a very similar API (this is part of a larger project where I recently found the need to have a well-implemented ordered dict). The only real omission I see is to allow instantiating a "sorted dict" with an optional cmp function--to allow the generalization of such features as case-independence, etc. James -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
