Hey All, We were exploring new features of Python 3.0 at our Tucson User's Group here in Tucson (TuPLE: Tucson Python Language Enthusiasts), in particular, the OrderedDict. See http://groups.google.com/group/TuPLEgroup/browse_thread/thread/40af73f8e194a... Has there been any discussion about making a "better" OrderedDict literal? I did some googling and didn't find anything. Basically, the thought was there might be a place for a slightly better literal for OrderedDict in Python 3.0 od = OrderedDict([('a',1),('b':2)]) # seems clumsy The two ideas floated were: od = ['a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3] # [ ] imply order, the ':' implies key-value or od = o{'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3} # { } imply dict, o implies order Apologies if this is the wrong place for this discussion. There has been a lot of opinions flying here at work and at TuPLE which I will be happy to share if this is the right place. ;) Gooday, Richie
