Indeed, there's been a discussion on this very subject not three weeks ago: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2011-January/009037.html

I'm guessing this request is going to get more common for some time, as people are getting aware Ruby switched its Hash implementation to an ordered dict in 1.9 (well they didn't exactly switch anything around, they added back and next pointers to their dict cells)
