[issue5397] PEP 372: OrderedDict

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Forest, I've taken another look at what's involved and am inclined to
accept the idea.  It can be done without mucking-up the regular dict API
and without precluding any of the other possible underlying algorithms.
 I like that it supports an entire new categoy of use cases with only a
trivial, easily-understood API extension.  Patch is attached.
