I hadn't realized how much stuff was there. I generally google for stuff,
but I will be looking directly now.
BTW, I made a mod[1] to your odict that I think/hope is going to be generally
faster.
It requires 2.4 though. It passes the same doctest, so its probably close to
the same.
It stores the ordering info differently, but is also a dict subclass.
Do you happen to have a timing test that exercises various aspects, so I can
try it
before I embarrass myself? Otherwise I guess I'll write something.
Would the would-be users chime in with some idea of what kinds of operations are
most important timing-wise? Which would get the most use? How dynamic would
ordering typically be?
