[New-bugs-announce] [issue43691] Comparison of OrderedDict() and dict()

[Марк Коренберг]

New submission from Марк Коренберг <socketpair at gmail.com>:

OrderedDict([(1,2), (3,4)]) == OrderedDict([(3,4), (1,2)])
Out[1]: False    # OK

dict([(1,2), (3,4)]) == dict([(3,4), (1,2)])
Out[2]: True     # OK

dict([(1,2), (3,4)]) == OrderedDict([(3,4), (1,2)])
Out[3]: True     # NOT OK, since actual order is different

OrderedDict([(1,2), (3,4)]) == dict([(3,4), (1,2)])
Out[4]: True     # NOT OK, since actual orderd is different


I propose two options to fix it:

1. Return True when comparing anything with OrderedDict iff order is the same.
2. Raise TypeError when someone tries to compare OrderedDict() and dict(). # I think it's better.
