Now that python has an ordered dictionary it would be great to have a
display sytax for creating them.
To create a dict I just use the dict display syntax:
newdict = {'fred':'flintstone', 'barney':'rubble', 'dino':'thedinosaur'}
I'd like to be able to create an OrderedDict in the same way - I realize
that a list of tuples would do the trick, but I find the dict display
more convenient and readable. Back in the archives there is probably a
whole discussion of why dict displays are useful. My reason for liking
displays is that I like to put dictionaries inside dictionaries - the
display format spread out over several lines makes this easy to read.
Possible solutions:
1. maybe use ^{ for OrderedDicts
newdict = ^{'fred':'flintstone', 'barney':'rubble', 'dino':'thedinosaur'}
2. have OrdredDict accept a dictionary display string
newodict = OrderedDict("{'fred':'flintstone', 'barney':'rubble',
'dino':'thedinosaur'}"} |
