Notice that both classes are identical, except that one inherits from
dict (and works) and the other inherits from OrderedDict and fails.
Has anyone seen this before? Thanks.
import collections
class Y(dict):
def __init__(self, stuff):
for k, v in stuff:
self[k] = v
# This works:
print Y([('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd')])
class X(collections.OrderedDict):
def __init__(self, stuff):
for k, v in stuff:
self[k] = v
# This doesn't:
print X([('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd')])
""" Output:
{'a': 'b', 'c': 'd'}
