csv and re has issues already.
There are some remaining OrderdDict, including docstring.
It looks like some of them can be removed easily without doc update.

This is ag --exclude-dir=test OrderedDict, exluding csv, re, pprint and collections.

These should be looked at one at a time (no sweeping search and replace missions).

The original author should be consulted when possible (they are in a better position to judge whether the original intent was preserved).

Published APIs should not be changed (i.e. you can't just change the default argument for configparser).

Docs should be changed carefully (i.e. let Bob Ippolito decide whether he wants to change the examples of how to use the object_pairs_hook).

Guido was very clear that you can't just downgrade every occurrence of OrderedDict with dict. Please don't be so aggressive (grepping every occurrence in the standard library without giving it individual consideration).

Agreed.
I won't remove OrderedDict usages which is part of public APIs.
This issue is for finding and removing easy local usages.

Let's remove from these:

• asyncio/base_events.py: Used for local variable.
• email/_header_value_parser.py: Used for local variable.
• json: Examples (in document and docstring) for keeping order, and json.tool.

I don't touch other modules.

I concur with Raymond. I made the same searching before and have found that there are not much opportunities for getting rid of OrderedDict and there are even less cases that will get a benefit from this.

• asyncio/base_events.py: Used for local variable.
• email/_header_value_parser.py: Used for local variable.
• json: Examples (in document and docstring) for keeping order, and json.tool.

All of these modules have active maintainers. You should create separate issues for each one of these and assign to those maintainers. You don't just get to mow down all the other developers. That isn't how we work together.

In the JSON module, there does need to be an example of how to use object_pairs_hook, so you will need to come up with a replacement or an additional note explaining in Py3.7 and later, most of the OrderedDict use cases have been supplanted by the regular dict.
