Dictionaries autosorting

[micmast]

hey,

it is possible to make sure that a given dictionary stays the same way?
for example
[code=python]
options = { 'Something':'va lue','abc':'val ue' }
[/code]

this should stay the same and not switch like this:
[code=python]
>>> options = { 'Something':'va lue','abc':'val ue' }
>>> print options
{'abc': 'value', 'Something': 'value'}
>>>

[/code]

If you use pythonutils you can implement an OrderedDict(), which I've used many times in my scripts. It works exactly like a dictionary, except you initialize it like [code=python]od = OrderedDict()[/code]
