The documentation of OrderedDict from zc.dict 1.2.1 states that the current implementation is inefficient for large collections because it uses a PersistentList to store the order. It also says that a BList which would be preferrable is not used as it is not yet released.
- What's the state of those BLists? Are they just around the corner or would it be worthwhile to consider some interim solution to the efficiency issue?
I'm not aware of zc.blist's current state, but I think it's more-or-less ready. If not and anyone knows what needs to be done to ready it for a release, you could take that up (the code is in svn.zope.org). -- Benji York Senior Software Engineer Zope Corporation
