Hi everybody, PEP 372 was modified so that it provides a simpler API (only the dict API to be exact) and it was decided to start with a Python-only implementation and replace it with a C version later if necessary.
Annotated changes from earlier versions of the PEP: - the extra API for ordered dict was dropped to keep the interface simple and clean. Future versions can still be expanded but it's impossible to drop features later on. - To keep the implementation simple 3.1 / 2.7 will ship with a Python-only version of the class. It can still be rewritten in C if it turns out to be too slow or thread safety is required. The corresponding issue in the tracker: http://bugs.python.org/issue5397 Link to the PEP: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0372/ Anything else that should be done?
