Inheriting from OrderedDict causes problem

[Bruce Eckel]

Notice that both classes are identical, except that one inherits from
dict (and works) and the other inherits from OrderedDict and fails.
Has anyone seen this before? Thanks.

import collections

class Y(dict):
    def __init__(self, stuff):
        for k, v in stuff:
            self[k] = v

# This works:
print Y([('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd')])

class X(collections.OrderedDict):
    def __init__(self, stuff):
        for k, v in stuff:
            self[k] = v

# This doesn't:
print X([('a', 'b'), ('c', 'd')])

""" Output:
