Gee, I just found out I could have used an OrderedDict today. (We're using a dict that we're now having to add an auxilliary list to to track when keys are added.) (This isn't particularly an argument in favor of adding OrderedDict to stdlib, but it's another use case. Each dict key contains a dict value; the subkeys from later-added keys are supposed to override earlier subkeys. The original implementation relied on subkeys being unique, but that doesn't work for our new business requirements.) -- Aahz (aahz at pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "The joy of coding Python should be in seeing short, concise, readable classes that express a lot of action in a small amount of clear code -- not in reams of trivial code that bores the reader to death." --GvR
