Kim van der Riet commented on PROTON-1835:
------------------------------------------
The above uses unusual types, but the same is true of more common types:
{noformat}
>>> import proton
>>> {proton.ubyte(2): 'A', proton.ushort(2): 'b'}
{ubyte(2): 'b'}
>>> {u'A': 100, proton.symbol(u'A'): 200}
{u'A': 200}
{noformat}

> related keys of the same value

> Issue Type: Bug

> Reporter: Kim van der Riet
> Priority: Major
>
> The AMQP map (expressed as a list) {{[binary(123), "hello", decimal128(123),
> "world"]}} cannot be implemented in Python using the {{dict}} type. This
> happens because {{proton.decimal}} is derived from {{bytes}}, and the
> dictionary treats the keys as the same value and causes the first value to be
> overwritten by the second:
> {noformat}
> >>> import proton
> >>> {b'123': 'hello', proton.decimal128(b'123'): 'world'}
> {'123': 'world'}
> {noformat}
> Using the {{[]}} operator to add the values one at a time to an empty
> {{dict}} results in the same outcome. Even using related classes (ie both
> derived from a common parent) don't work:
> {noformat}
> >>> import proton
> >>> class mybin(bytes):
> ... def __repr__(self):
> ... return 'mybin(%s)' % bytes.__repr__(self)
> ...
> >>> {mybin(b'123'): 'hello', proton.decimal128(b'123'): 'world'}
> {mybin('123'): 'world'}
> {noformat}
> This issue highlights that the Python {{dict}} type is not suitable for
> representing AMQP maps. In addition, dicts do not guarantee ordering of the
> elements (although other Python classes such as {{collections.OrderedDict}}
> do). Solving this issue will probably require re-implementing the way AMQP
> maps are represented.
