IIRC, first, dicts started preserving order as an implementation detail (implementation borrowed from PyPy?). Then there was a discussion about whether it should be declared that it was a feature that could be counted on -- and it was decided that yes, it was. So yes -- we can count on it, and so don't be worried about a future re-implementation. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
