Best to change the failing tests. For example, _they_ can sort the dict keys if they rely on a fixed order. Sorting in general is a dubious idea because it can be a major expense with no real benefit for most uses. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
