OrderedDict.move_to_end()
OrderedDict.move_to_end() is a Python method in the Collections Module category. Moves an existing key to either end of the OrderedDict. The syntax is OrderedDict.move_to_end(key, last=True). Parameters: key, last (True=end, False=start). Returns: None. A typical example: od = OrderedDict([("a",1), ("b",2)])
od.move_to_end("a") # Now: a is at the end. A close sibling is collections.deque(), which returns a double-ended queue (deque) with efficient O(1) appends/pops from both ends. A close sibling is deque.append(), which adds x to the right side of the deque. A close sibling is deque.appendleft(), which adds x to the left side of the deque. A close sibling is deque.pop(), which removes and returns the rightmost element. Raises IndexError if empty.
