Have you looked at this: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/sorteddict/1.2.1 >>> data = zip('afcedbijhg', range(10)) >>> old = dict(data) >>> for key in old: ... print key, old[key] ... a 0 c 2 b 5 e 3 d 4 g 9 f 1 i 6 h 8 j 7 >>> new = sorteddict.sorteddict(data) >>> for key in new: ... print key, new[key] ... a 0 b 5 c 2 d 4 e 3 f 1 g 9 h 8 i 6 j 7 -John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
