Example 1: Python Ordered Dictionary
from collections import OrderedDict
# Remembers the order the keys are added!
x = OrderedDict(a=1, b=2, c=3)
Example 2: how to make an ordered dictionary in python
# A Python program to demonstrate working of key
# value change in OrderedDict
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
>>> # regular unsorted dictionary
>>> d = {'banana': 3, 'apple': 4, 'pear': 1, 'orange': 2}
>>> # dictionary sorted by key
>>> OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: t[0]))
OrderedDict([('apple', 4), ('banana', 3), ('orange', 2), ('pear', 1)])
>>> # dictionary sorted by value
>>> OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: t[1]))
OrderedDict([('pear', 1), ('orange', 2), ('banana', 3), ('apple', 4)])
>>> # dictionary sorted by length of the key string
>>> OrderedDict(sorted(d.items(), key=lambda t: len(t[0])))
OrderedDict([('pear', 1), ('apple', 4), ('orange', 2), ('banana', 3)])
Example 4: counter most_common
most_common([n])¶
Return a list of the n most common elements and their counts from the most common to the least. If n is omitted or None, most_common() returns all elements in the counter.
Elements with equal counts are ordered arbitrarily:
>>> Counter('abracadabra').most_common(3)
[('a', 5), ('r', 2), ('b', 2)]
Example 5: 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 6: python counter
sum(c.values()) # total of all counts
c.clear() # reset all counts
list(c) # list unique elements
set(c) # convert to a set
dict(c) # convert to a regular dictionary
c.items() # convert to a list of (elem, cnt) pairs
Counter(dict(list_of_pairs)) # convert from a list of (elem, cnt) pairs
c.most_common()[:-n-1:-1] # n least common elements
c += Counter() # remove zero and negative counts
