I'm having problems with the ordering of the tuples produced by
urllib.urlencode.  Taking an example straight from the docs and so
doing the following:

        import urllib
        ...
        params = urllib.urlencode({'spam': 1, 'eggs': 2, 'bacon': 0})
        print params

The documentation for urlencode( query[, doseq]) says: "The order of
parameters in the encoded string will match the order of parameter
tuples in the sequence" but I'm getting:

        "eggs=2&bacon=0&spam=1"

Should this not produce: "spam=1&eggs=2&bacon=0" ?

I am seeing this "incorrect" result using Python 2.5.1 and
ActivePython 2.3.2 (both on XP SP2).  What am I doing wrong?  I've
been googling around for an answer but I'm a Python newbie and so
don't know the ropes yet.

Thanks for any help.

Ben
