title: Converting dict to OrderedDict
body: <p>I am having some trouble using the <code>collections.OrderedDict</code> class. I am using Python 2.7 on Raspbian, the Debian distro for Raspberry Pi. I am trying to print two dictionaries in order for comparison (side-by-side) for a text-adventure. The order is essential to compare accurately.
  No matter what I try the dictionaries print in their usual unordered way.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I get when I do it on my RPi:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import collections
  
  ship = {"NAME": "Albatross",
           "HP":50,
           "BLASTERS":13,
           "THRUSTERS":18,
           "PRICE":250}
  
  ship = collections.OrderedDict(ship)
  
  print ship
  # OrderedDict([('PRICE', 250), ('HP', 50), ('NAME', 'Albatross'), ('BLASTERS', 13), ('THRUSTERS', 18)])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Obviously there is something not right because it is printing the function call and putting the keys and value groups into a nested list...</p>
  
  <p>This is what I got by running something similar on my PC:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import collections
  
  Joe = {"Age": 28, "Race": "Latino", "Job": "Nurse"}
  Bob = {"Age": 25, "Race": "White", "Job": "Mechanic", "Random": "stuff"}
  
  #Just for clarity:
  Joe = collections.OrderedDict(Joe)
  Bob = collections.OrderedDict(Bob)
  
  print Joe
  # OrderedDict([('Age', 28), ('Race', 'Latino'), ('Job', 'Nurse')])
  print Bob
  # OrderedDict([('Age', 25), ('Race', 'White'), ('Job', 'Mechanic'), ('Random', 'stuff')])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This time, it is in order, but it shouldn't be printing the other things though right? (The putting it into list and showing function call.)</p>
  
  <p>Where am I making my error? It shouldn't be anything to do with the pi version of Python because it is just the Linux version.</p>
