how to keep order key in a dictionary

[Jeff McNeil]

See http://www.python.org/doc/faq/general/#how-are-dictionaries-implemented 
.  In short, keys() and items() return an arbitrary ordering.  I think  
that http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Ordered%20Dictionary/ will do what  
you want if key ordering is a necessity.
