Personally, I have needs for ordered dict but I don't think it should be in standard library though, as different situation called for different behaviour for "ordered" and skewing my code to a standard lib way is no good. What I think is better is like the itertools recipe of giving example of how one can make their own based on the needs. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
