Purely an implementation accident - based entirely on the hash values of the objects you've used (i.e. small integers). As you add more data to the dictionary, you will definitely reach the point where you no longer get keys out in sorted order. Tim Delaney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
