I'm looking for the most ideal data structure (for performance and ease of use) from which values can be retrieved by string key or index. Dictionary doesn't work because you can't really retrieve by index. Any ideas? ...
I don't know why this doesn't work: I'm using the odict class from PEP 372, but I want to use it as a __dict__ member, i.e.: class Bag(object): def __init__(self): self.__dict__ = odict() But for some reason I'm getting weird results. This works: >>> b = Bag() >>> b.apple = 1 >>> b.apple 1 >>> b.banana = 2 >>> b.banana 2...

What I mean by ordered dict is that the object has some concept of the order of the keys in it, similar to an array in PHP. odict from PEP 372 seems like a strong candidate, but it's not totally clear tha...
How to get the key and value of item from OrderedDictionary by index? ...

I want to use the OrderedDictionary like this: public void AddObject(MyObject ob...
