Nikolaus Rath added the comment: I agree that OrderedDict is more a dict than a list, but it is not clear to me why this means that it cannot extend a dict's functionality in that respect.
OrderedDict already adds functionality to dict (preserving the order), so why shouldn't it also allow changes during iteration? I think these two things actually come together quite naturally, since it is the existence of an ordering that makes the behavior under changes during iteration well defined. Is there really a danger that people will get confused because a previously undefined operation now becomes officially supported with a defined meaning? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19414> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
