Dict preserves insertion order. Note that updating key doesn't affects the
order. On the other hand, keys added after deletion are inserted to the
last. ::
>>> d = {"one": 1, "two": 2, "three": 3, "four": 4}
>>> d
{'one': 1, 'two': 2, 'three': 3, 'four': 4}
>>> list(d)
['one', 'two', 'three', 'four']
>>> list(d.values())
[1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> d["one"] = 42
>>> d
{'one': 42, 'two': 2, 'three': 3, 'four': 4}
>>> del d["two"]
>>> d["two"] = None
>>> d
{'one': 42, 'three': 3, 'four': 4, 'two': None}
.. versionchanged:: 3.7
Dict order is guaranteed to be insertion order. This behavior was
implementation detail of CPython from 3.6.
.. seealso::
:class:`types.MappingProxyType` can be used to create a read-only view
of a :class:`dict`.
