</div>No, you get a Python object with both iterables as instance variables.<br>
Instance variables happen to be stored using a dict (which is<br>
accessible as .__dict__), but that's to some extent an implementation<br>
detail whose relevance here I fail to see. My point was that, as Ian<br>
explained, your __iter__() method, as written, is horribly broken.<br>

<br>
</div>I'm confused as to why you wrote a class (particularly when its name<br>
is an *action* rather than a noun; big red flag right there!) for your<br>
task in the first place. I think you'd be best served by moving your<br>
parsing code into a function and using a<br>
<a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/sorteddict" target="_blank">http://pypi.python.org/pypi/sorteddict</a> , which provides the<br>
sorted-keys property you seemed to be trying to accomplish.<br>
<br>
Also, please avoid top-posting in the future. (See<br>
