Hi Aaron. Yeah, definitely sounds like a possibility. I was able to locate an ordered dict implementation that subclasses dict. This might work fine. Might be able to pass into type method directly since I think that dict passed into type is setting __dict__ I believe. Let you know if that works out. Many thanks.

Regards,
David

Hi list. I use 'type' to generate classes but have a need to order
the attributes for the generated class. Of course a dict is not going
to maintain ordering. Is there any way to dynamically generate a
class with attributes in specific order?

my_new_class = type( 'MyNewClass', tuple_of_bases, dict_of_attributes)

Many thanks,
David

Just a thought, you can subclass 'dict' and assign an instance of it
to the __dict__ member of your new instance.
