[Python-ideas] issubclass(collections.OrderedDict, collections.Sequence)

Hi guys,

I was just going to test whether a mapping is dict-like or an
OrderedDict-like object by doing this:

    isinstance(x, collections.Sequence)

But then I checked and saw that this is False:

    issubclass(collections.OrderedDict, collections.Sequence) is False

Why isn't an OrderedDict a Sequence?
