Re: [Tutor] Keeping Dictonary Entries Ordered

Title: Signature.html
It looks like a secondary list should do the trick. I'm not adverse to keeping one. My list is maybe 30-40 items at most. When I posted originally, I was just trying to find if I had overlooked something. It appears that without a secondary list, it gets pretty tricky.

start_time 18:00:00
gray_scale True
long 120.0

Thats pretty much a happy coincidence, there is no guarantee that it will work like that for all dictionaries:

d = {1:2,3:4,8:9,5:7}
for i,x in d.items(): print i,x
....     8 9
1 2
3 4
5 7
