I'd prefer encoding the order in the class name, therefore I suggest (Ins|Insertion)(Order|Ordered)Dict, e.g. InsOrderDict. Abbreviating the first group to simply I probably is too confusing because of the use of I as a prefix for interfaces.

Maybe there's a misunderstanding because I don't see it either. I was trying to suggest four alternative names for the OrderedDict class. I don't prefer encoding every possible sort order into the class name. I just wanted to improve the name of OrderedDict. > The distinction between OrderedDict and dict is that the order of > keys()/values()/items() isn't arbitrary the way it is in a regular dict > - there's a defined order that will always be used.

But should the source pages really use syntax highlighting? I think if somebody is interested in the source then they should get the real source without any highlighting. If you decide to keep the syntax highlighting then the highlighting of multiline ReST strings should be fixed. For example see the source for splitext().

For example "Branch details" needs to be updated because the trunk branch is no longer Python 2.6.
