Example 1: ordered dictionary python
from collections import OrderedDict
x = OrderedDict(a=1, b=2, c=3)
Example 2: how to make an ordered dictionary in python
from collections import OrderedDict
print("Before:\n")
od = OrderedDict()
od['a'] = 1
od['b'] = 2
od['c'] = 3
od['d'] = 4
for key, value in od.items():
print(key, value)
print("\nAfter:\n")
od['c'] = 5
for key, value in od.items():
print(key, value)

Example 3: python ordereddict
>>>

>>>
>>> OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: t[0]))
OrderedDict([('apple', 4), ('banana', 3), ('orange', 2), ('pear', 1)])

>>> OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: t[1]))

Example 4: ordered dictionary python
import collections
print 'Regular dictionary:'
d = {}
d['a'] = 'A'
d['b'] = 'B'
d['c'] = 'C'
d['d'] = 'D'
d['e'] = 'E'
for k, v in d.items():
print k, v
print '\nOrderedDict:'
d = collections.OrderedDict()
d['a'] = 'A'
d['b'] = 'B'
d['c'] = 'C'
d['d'] = 'D'
d['e'] = 'E'
for k, v in d.items():
print k, v
Example 5: python collections to dictionary
list = ["a","c","c","a","b","a","a","b","c"]
cnt = Counter(list)
od = OrderedDict(cnt.most_common())
for key, value in od.items():
print(key, value)
