[Python-ideas] Re: Access (ordered) dict by index; insert slice

...

I doubt there are many uses at all for dict.keys() -- most uses can jsut use the dict.

...

I use key() all the time to sort the keys before printing.

for name in sorted(dict.key()): print(name, dict[name)

Why not just use sorted(dict)?

Thanks for so nicely making my point :-) Though I do like the keys() version: it seems more obvious to me. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
