OrderedDict does not preserve the order

Question

from collections import OrderedDict
import pprint

menu = {\"about\" : \"about\", \"login\" : \"login\", \'signup\': \"signup\"}

menu = OrderedDict(menu)
pprint.ppr         


        

Answer 1

By putting the items in a (non-ordered) dict and constructing the OrderedDict from that, you've already discarded the original order. Construct the OrderedDict from a list of tuples, not a dict.
