Skip, the json API for 2.7/3.1 includes an object_pairs_hook that allows an OrderedDict to be generated from a json file. The OP is pointing out that the latest C upgrade prevents round-tripping while preserving order. Use cases for that were discussed in the thread for the object_pairs_hook. While you can't count on order preservation on both ends, there are tools such as PHP that do preserve order. Also, when working with manually type user inputs (such as config files), it is nice when updates generally keep the file in its original order so that it is clear what had changed. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6105> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
