<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 576998 by <a href="/recipes/users/4172762/">Jan Kaliszewski</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/collections/">collections</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/dict/">dict</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/dictionary/">dictionary</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/mapping/">mapping</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/sorted/">sorted</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/sorteddict/">sorteddict</a>). Revision 29. </p> <p>A simple implementation of a dictionary which always (when applicable) returns keys, values, items (key-value pairs) sorted by keys (inserting/removing order doesn't matter and only keys are important; so please note that it is something different than OrderedDict in Python 3.1/2.7 or Django's SortedDict).</p>
