I recently came across some Java code that simply put some strings into a Java TreeSet, implemented a distance based comparator for it, and then made its merry way into the sunset to compute a given score to solve the given problem.

My questions,

  • Is there an equivalent data structure available for Python?

    • The Java treeset looks basically to be an ordered dictionary that can use a comparator of some sort to achieve this ordering.
  • I see there's a PEP for Py3K for an OrderedDict, but I'm using 2.6.x. There are a bunch of ordered dict implementations out there - anyone in particular that can be recommended?

Thanks.
