@ -911,6 +911,18 @@ The new sorted dictionaries maintain their sort order when entries
are deleted. But when new keys are added, the keys are appended
to the end and the sort is not maintained.
It is also straight-forward to create an ordered dictionary variant
that the remembers the order the keys were *last* inserted.
If a new entry overwrites an existing entry, the
original insertion position is changed and moved to the end::
class LastUpdatedOrderedDict(OrderedDict):
'Store items is the order the keys were last added'
def __setitem__(self, key, value):
if key in self:
del self[key]
OrderedDict.__setitem__(self, key, value)
:class:`UserDict` objects
