Yes of course, but I think GvR was really saying "no", at least not until a year or so has passed, and only then if lots of users ask for it. So I won't be submitting a PEP. I have put a new version (incorporating another implementation idea from Paul Hankin) on PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/sorteddict It does not have the all round (theoretically) good performance of my original version, but does have a much nicer API than my original idea. -- Mark Summerfield, Qtrac Ltd., www.qtrac.eu _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
