Just today, I was talking with a colleague (which is learning Python right now) about "ordered dict". His first thought was a dictionary that, when iterated, would return keys in sorted order.
I wonder whether "indexed list" would be a more appropriate name for what we're talking about here -- basically a sequence type that holds things in arbitrary order, but with the additional ability to look things up quickly by a key. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
