I'm -0 on adding it to the stdlib, but mostly because I don't like the name, and I suspect it's going to be one of those nuggets lurking in the standard library that few people will use, tending either to overlook it or just roll their own anyway because the standard one doesn't have quite the right semantics. FWIW, email.Message.Message /exposes/ an ordered dictionary-like interface even though it's implemented as a simple list. It was considered at the time that the number of headers in an email message wouldn't be so large that anything else would be worth the complexity. I think that still holds, for the original uses cases at least. -Barry -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
