At least in the case where newkeyseq is a permutation of d.sequence. Otherwise, it should behave like the given implementation for setting slices, i.e. - if newkeyseq has duplicate elements, an exception should be raised. - if newkeyseq has elements not in d.sequence, then the dictionary should be updated with corresponding None values - if d.sequence has elements not in newkeyseq then these elements should be deleted from the dictionary -- Christoph -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
