Pronouncement: It is only efficient to get the *first* item, so let's make that explicit. The method names will be: .firstkey() .firstvalue() .firstitem() Moshe will check in a patch. Thinking aloud: Would it be useful to also implement popkey(), popvalue(), popitem(), which would remove the first item and then return the relevant part of it? --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
