[Tutor] dict(a, b) does not preserve sort order

[Joel Rodrigues]

Am I wrong to be a just a wee bit annoyed about this ? :

 >>> a
('1', '2', '3')
 >>> b
('x', 'y', 'z')
 >>> zip(a,b)
[('1', 'x'), ('2', 'y'), ('3', 'z')]
 >>> dict(zip(a,b))
{'1': 'x', '3': 'z', '2': 'y'}


What I expect is :
{'1': 'x', '2': 'y', '3': 'z'}
