Nick Coghlan added the comment: Because we're not making ordered-by-default dicts a language specification level requirement, so portable code can't rely on them.
However, the PEP at https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0520/ is deliberately worded so that there's no requirement for the class body execution namespace to specifically be collections.OrderedDict - it just needs to be order preserving so that __definition_order__ can be populated. If someone reviews and merges the compact ordered dict patch, then this patch can likely be made a lot simpler. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue24254> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
