3.6 does preserve the dict order.

Not when you run the same program repeatedly under the same version. Sure, it might be different if you run it under a different version, but it's entirely possible for that not to be the guarantee the OP is looking for. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
