Python remembers order, and exposes it in its iterations, but doesn't use it in its equivalence over dictionaries (== semantics). (ETA: What are you quoting th

  Not sure about the previous post, but also python’s OrderedDict collection guarantees order-sensitive equality checks. [1] Plain dict maintains insertion order but equality checks only check that the key/value pairs are the same.

  Yea. Just pointing out that the order can be significant, so throwing it away isn't generally a good idea.
