Ethan Furman added the comment: True, but how big a deal is that?
For one, it seems questionable to have the presentation portion of the data be part of the key. For two, when presentation is important a separate list must be kept anyway to preseed the dict; so just use that list to cycle through the canonicaldict: --> some_dict = some_function_that_returns_a_conanicaldict() --> presentation_list = ['IBM','Intel','AMD'] --> for company in presentation_list: ... key = some_dict.key[company] # demo purposes only ... value = some_dict[company] ... print(key, company, value) ibm IBM 2172 intel Intel 3210 amd AMD 4399 ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18986> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
