I am waiting 3.7 compatibility for dict insertion order which I rely in my last project. I know I could use workarounds but now it is safe and stable and I am not in a hurry. Until then waiting in CPython.
- ktpsns 7y agoIsn't it explicitly discouraged to rely on dict() being ordered? IIRC the Python standard (if it exists) has collections.OrderedDict() in mind to fulfill ordering. I think when CPython introduced ordering, they warned about that. [No references included, happy if somebody provides some]
- zxter 7y agoYes it was discouraged previously. It became an implementation detail in 3.6 but is wasn't guaranteed. But now it is guaranteed in version 3.7: > Changed in version 3.7: Dictionary order is guaranteed to be insertion order. This behavior was an implementation detail of CPython from 3.6.
