Hmmm, managed to confuse myself with 'b' and 'd'!
d = sorteddict({1:"one", 3:"three", 5:"five", 99:"ninetynine"})
d.items()
[(1, 'one'), (3, 'three'), (5, 'five'), (99, 'ninetynine')]
d[3], d.value(3)
('three', 'ninetynine')
So using [] returns the value for the given key and using value()
returns the value for the given index position.
