It seems there must be at least two threads for each topic worth discussing at all. Therefore I feel compelled to point to https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2017-November/150381.html, where I state my own conclusion about dict order. I know Paul Sokolovsky does not claim to speak for MicroPython, but I think he had better shut up or he's nevertheless going to damage its reputation beyond repair. I note that micropython.org claims "MicroPython aims to be as compatible with normal Python as possible to allow you to transfer code with ease from the desktop to a microcontroller or embedded system." To me this implies that it is entirely up to the MicroPython project to decide what they'll do about the order of dict elements -- they can keep doing what they are doing, or choose a new dict implementation that satisfies their space and performance needs while also preserving order, or give developer a compile-time choice, or give users a choice at startup time, or something else I haven't thought of yet. Any of those options is better than continuing the flamewar that Paul is waging. Finally: the dict type should not be endowed with other parts of the OrderedDict API, not should other API changes to dict be considered. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
