[issue43691] Comparison of OrderedDict() and dict()

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettinger at gmail.com> added the comment:

Unfortunately, the existing behaviors are guaranteed and cannot be changing without breaking code — the OrderedDict class was designed to be mostly substitutable for regular dicts in existing code.

Personally, I think it would have been better if OrderedDict equality always worked the same way a dict equality, but I was overruled and that ship sailed long ago.  It is what it is.
