Note that there are a number of recipes available for free online, and
if you are using a newer version of Python (2.7 or higher), the
collections module includes an OrderedDict class
(http://docs.python.org/library/collections.html#collections.OrderedDict
- this also include a library for Python 2.4 and higher as well). Note
that there are a lot of different possible behaviors, so any
particular recipe may or may not behave exactly as you desire.
