The od
package adds a shorthand syntax to create instances of OrderedDict
>>> import od >>> >>> od["cat": "fish", "mouse": "cheese"] OrderedDict([('cat', 'fish'), ('mouse', 'cheese')]) >>> od["mouse": "cheese", "cat": "fish"] OrderedDict([('mouse', 'cheese'), ('cat', 'fish')])
You can also use it like the regular constructor for OrderedDict
:
>>> od() OrderedDict() >>> an_iterable = [("cat", "fish"), ("mouse", "cheese")] >>> od(an_iterable) OrderedDict([('cat', 'fish'), ('mouse', 'cheese')])
Install this package using pip:
$ pip install --user od
