The hash function *has* been changed in the past, and a lot of developers were schooled in not relying on the iteration order. That's a good thing, as those developers now write tests of what's actually important rather than relying on implementation details of the Python runtime. A hash function that changes more often than during an occasional major version update will encourage more developers to write better tests. We can think of it as an educational tool. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at acm.org> "A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read." --Samuel Langhorne Clemens
